Another Lift Case. May all Rize.

I had it with my 6 inch Pro comp lift kit on my 2008 F150 4x4 PT because of the almost zero ground clearance. Since I off road about 6 days of the month my 2 yr old pro comp didn't cut it for me anymore. I did some research on a long travel suspension but it was cost prohibited with a price tag of 22 grand. I then decided to go with the 8 inch Rize lift and 2.5 king shocks. This lift was something I could afford and gave me a better ground clearance than the Pro Comp, plus it allowed me to install 38's open country Toyos. Even though I have no mechanical experience I decided to installed the lift myself with the help of a friend.

Banged up old suspension due to almost no ground clearance.






Rize Lift in progress









Project Complete


Before, 6 inch Pro Comp Lift


After, 8 inch Rize Industries Lift.

Looks good so far! The only thing I worry about is the trimming since you do offroad frequently, i'm 99% sure you will be fine but it would worry me. I know I love my setup even with my kings cranked and riding like crap As we speak im switching springs and revalving my kings in the front and revalving the rear piggybacks. I dont offroad my truck much, if ever, so i want the smoothest ride i can on the road. I think you, Texan Aviator, and Dirt Bound will be the ones that have off roaded the Rize kit the most around here. Dirt Bounds has held up through all the off road hell he has put it through so everything should be good for years to come
