Best 8 inch lift?

alaska907 · 08-23-2008, 10:33 PM

I'm lookin to lift my truck 8 inches and was wondering who puts out the best kit. I was looking at Rize industries lift but am kind of turned away by the 5 inch blocks in the rear that makes the truck looked raked. So lets hear it guys, which kits would you use?

agreed!, SPIRSON!

oh wait actually no SPRISON IS THE BEST
I CANT WAIT FOR MINE,

i am still saving a little money up right now because i had to take care of a couple other things but when the time comes you will get a full run down of picturse and installments and final products

but if you dont want to go that way

go wit R1ZE because rize is probably one of the toughest effing lifts ive ever tested, i tested a 8" r1ze on a f250 and hit 1-3foot whoops at 45-60 mph through the woods and it was pretty amazing

Nice kit, but over double the price of the Rize kit.

I cant hardly begin to compare a kit designed around KING components to an out of the box kit that comes from almost any big 4x4 supplier

spirson is exclusive to several retailers other then itself

I think if you put a set of Kings from Thuren, Deaver springs, and air bump stops on the Rize kit it would perform as well as the Spirson and have better steering and driveline angles.

someone can quote me on this but I remember reading that the spirson has the 1.5" tube crossover steering, king steering stabs and bump stops

with which kit?

they recommend 39s on the sprison kit so 40s would probably clear

i am no expert on the RIZE kit but most people end up running 37s, i would imagine you could clear 38s but i am not sure about 40s

dont get me wrong, the RIZE is a very nice kit but it all comes down to how much you want to apy and what you expect out of the truck
