Default Body lift manufacturers

Hey guys and girls ive done the 2inch shackle lift and torsion bar tweak to my 99 jimmy and now im looking at bodylifts seems like there are 2 different manufacturers performance accessories and zone off road they're both 2inch lifts wondering if there's a significant difference in the quality of kit to pick one or the other? The zone off road is roughly 90 dollars cheaper anyone have experience with one or both?

I installed a BDS body lift about 12 years ago, but it looks like they don't make them any more. At that time, BDS and PA were the only two that I knew of making the kits.

What you want to make sure of when making your choice is that the kit you choose has the relocation brackets for the front AND rear bumpers and extensions for the fan shroud. And I've never heard of Zone Off Road but that doesn't mean they don't make a good product.

When I did mine, I bought the blocks from Zone Offroad and sourced the bolts locally. Everything else, I made out of stuff I had sitting around. The Zone blocks are exactly the same as the PA ones, so I imagine the rest of the kit would be similar quality, as well. Like AJBert said, make sure you're getting everything you need with the kit you buy, In my case, I was building custom bumpers and installing electric fans, so it didn't make sense to pay for stuff I didn't need.
