I have 2024 Chevy 3500HD SRW. I had a reputable shop install this 3" kit on my brand new truck. I bought the upgraded kit with the fox shocks and I must tell you all that I have had nothing but problems. When I called tech support multiple times, the last thing their CS Rep told me was that my driveline vibration problems with their square(non-tapered) rear 2" block was not the block or the kit, but it is axle wrap and that I needed to add their traction bars to cure the problem. What a bunch of BS! Who adds traction bars to a truck with a 2" block?... Nobody! Due to Zone's inability to address the inferior product that was sold to me, I am now stuck with ordering a 2" tapered block to try an correct the driveline angles that obviously were not kept in check with their small differential spacers and their rear block setup. Now lets talk about the front end angles, the CV axles and Idler/Pitman arm angles are all terrible. If the customer support for Zone would have been more helpful with resolving my issues, I would have been less likely to write this poor review for this kit. Don't waste your money on this kit like I did, as Zone Customer Service will just tell you that they cant help until you buy more of their parts to try and correct this POS Kit.... In addition to all the other issues mentioned above, this kit will result in your truck having a TERRIBLE BUMP STEER issue as well.
Thanks for info. I can back up the bump steer problem. Everyone please be aware, that when you do a leveling kit on a Chevrolet or GMC you will have significantly increased bump steer.
I installed this kit myself and there’s no possibility of inducing bump steer if installed correctly. My only thought is you have the control arms reversed (left on right and right one on left). The arms have an intentional harsh angle on one leg that must be install forward, so there is a distinct left arm and right arm, which should not be swapped around. I have no bumpsteer and no rear axle vibration/wrap issues. I’d buy this kit again in a second. Upgraded w the fox 2.0 shocks and once I dialed my torsion bars in and got alignment the truck rides as well as it did from the factory. Truck had 15,000 miles when I installed kit, and no ride difference.
What are your thoughts on wheel spacers? I just installed this kit with reservoir Fox 2.0s on my AT4 2500hd. I had to slide in 1/4" spacers in the front, but the UCA is still making contact with the tire when I hit bumps. TIA!
Being a torsion bar setup the torsion bars can be "cranked" to adjust ride height to some degree. That said we specify in the instruction how they should be set and we do not recommend adjusting it to sit taller than 3" with the factory suspension geometry as it will begin to affect ride quality, handling, alignment, and may lead to premature wear of factory suspension/steering components.

Thank man !!! by far the best vid explain on youtube;
Very good step by step explanation of steps! Hope you continue making content. Thx
Is it true when they say a leveling kit rides like crap afterwards or do you think its close to to a factory ride.

Did you keep this kit and make any changes to resolve the issues?

I like how Zone had no reply to this review 😅

Is this the same process to install the 5in?
Awesome video!!!! No b.s. just to the point and informative!!!
What were those torque specs again? Lol
Impact wrench go buurrrtttt

is that the same as a leveling kit?
no. a leveling kit is only torsion keys and some kits upper control arms. dropping the differential and sway bar is the lowest level of a lift kit
Do you know if you can adjust the front higher as it doesn’t sit level the back is defiantly higher

You don't have to install the rear 2" blocks. Or you can buy separate 1" blocks for the rear.
Didn't even show what the finished truck looked like. Smh.
Yes they did. U didn’t finish the video
@@luckii1046 bad on me I seen it
I like zone I had the 5” in my truck but the 3” kit is absolute junk, avoid it or any level or 3” kit on these trucks
Why do you say that?
He stated that because he obviously has gone through the same problems I did with this kit
what problem did you have with the 3" kit ?@@GlennMunford
