Make one yourself, or just wait til next year. You can get everything you need except for the steering extension and the rear bumper relocation brackets. You would most likely have to deal some kind of fabrication shop to come up with a solution for those.

Buy the zone, and 3 inch zone blocks and run without the rear bumper relocated until mark can get you some brackets. You will get the steering ext then and can resell the 2 in blocks

:Iagree: There's another option. Probably need to buy longer bolts as well.

I ended up with the 2" body lift, and I pieced it together with some extra parts from other members kits, Zone blocks, and I made my own extension.

I originally just had the Zone kit, but I really needed the extra inch to keep the tires from rubbing. You could run the Zone until mark is ready again and then sell and switch or modify with his help like I did. Zone kit is pretty nice.

I'm sure Mark could hook you up with everything but the brackets. Blocks, bolts and extension.

I am working on getting the issues resolved that put everything on hold.
Hope to get word from machine shop (T-mac) next week sometime..
The brackets are a couple weeks to get painted, the bolts and other hardware only take about a week.
The steering extension is the only hold up at this point..T-mac kept breaking end mills when machineing the female end, gonna try something different..

Good news, Bad news

Tmac has 9 steering extensions made.
One is for MrSmithTB the other 8 will be for kits available for prepay.

If you are interested in one of the kits that will be available you need to get ahold on me asap.
Keep in mind that there will be a wait time of about 2 weeks due to getting the other suppliers back on line with production.

Kit cost is $400
To get your name on one of the 8 kits, send payment to my paypal:
markmcmaster2003@yahoo.com

thanks
