Best lift kit for '08?

My wife shocked me and told me to go ahead and lift the superduty we have on order and trick it out a little bit. I've been doing some research, and came accross a few kits that interest me, but I'd like to try and get some feedback. The kits I'm looking at are Procomp and Rize, but I'm open to other kits if they meet the bill. I plan to go with a 6" lift rolling on 37X13.5X20 tires. Any info and/or experience with these kits would be appreciated.

I have a buddy that works with me during the Watermelon harvest here at the ranch, he owns an 08 FX4 Crew Cab, with an 8" Rize Kit with 38x14R20 Kuhmo M/T's

Truck rides real good on and real well off road, go with Rize, I have the Rize kit on my F1 and love it

The Rize looks like a good kit, but I keep seeing that you can only fit 35" tires with their 6" kit (36" with some trimming). However, I see several '08's with a 6" Pro Comp lift and 37" tires and it is advertised that they will fit up to 13.5" wide tires. I'm leaning towards the Pro Comp because of that.

What about Skyjacker?

Thanks!

I put the Fabtech coil over shock on my truck with 22" rims and 37" tirew. I checked around and this was the only lift I could find that actually kept some of the factory ride feeling.

Bkuepaint, do you have a picture of your truck? I'd love to see how the 22's look with 37" tires.

Diesel Innovations bought an '08 and slapped a 4" Donahoe lift/leveling kit on it. #7's on 20's roll with absolutely no rubbing or anything. I've got a 6" Donahoe on my '02 to accomodate 37 x 13.5 Toyo's and love it (did have to massage the fender insides a little).
