    Not sure. Not a lot of drop bracket lift users here. I’m sure someone has one of these that can comment. The most popular I’ve heard here is BDS.

    Looking at the two of them...the second one looks a little more complete. Or at least it has a price and has more parts.

    I don't know squat about zone Offroad. I don't see any leaf springs or front coils. I wouldn't buy one or the other, if you are asking me....ok the first one has leaf springs of "some type."

    I’m no expert, looks like one of those knock-off packages. Sure it will function. Not good quality components, I’d be wary of the fit and performance.

    I would be skeptical of the second kit. Never heard of them before, also seems inexpensive for a 6” kit. Also the more parts the more it’s “engineered” never been a fan of too many “brackets”

    Also those are giant spacers. And usually an add-a-leaf makes for a harsher ride.

    As mentioned Zone suspension is made by BDS. I had a BDS bracket lift on my previous Tundra. Both are probably about the same. I would see if one comes with better shocks.

    One thing to note is that these bracket lifts come with new knuckles that change the suspension geometry. You will likely have a greater turning radius and the messed up Ackerman angle will have the tires fighting each other in a turn. This will lead to the outside edge of front tire wearing faster.
