Whipash but DON'T do it. How big of a tire do you want to run? This is going to be the deciding factor.

I'd go with the Rize Industries if you have the money.

Im planning on adding a 3" body, 4" leaf pack and a custom 1" block and either 37x13.50s or 38x13.50s, I just can't decide if the 38s would clear.

Yea id go with the CST or Rize. They both make great lift kits. Probly can fit 38 but if you want bigger you might need body lift or spcer and a leaf

yeah rize industries really has my eye....cause there lifts on the F-150 allows u to use the stock coilovers and keep a somewhat smooth stock ride and Rizes lifts look custom too. im going to go with the 8 inch Rize or the 12" rize dependin on price.....mabye a fullthrottle 10" cause its beetwen 8-12" ha

Dude, don't forget that the only groundclearance you are going to gain is from TIRE HEIGHT...nothing else....lifts just move the body/frame UP and allow more room for rubber....maybe you should reconsider

Stock suspension really hurt me while wheeling, I bottomed out my suspension going 5 mph on occasion.

& Kelmvor, you gain ground clearance in other areas. Most people aren't talking about raising their pumpkins when talking about increasing clearance and this is usually because [assuming they know what they're doing], their tires are usually riding on whatever they're trying to clear. So oftentimes they are speaking of their approach and/or departure angles.
