How much did that lift run you? I love how your truck sits, its more proportionate. I love the monster truck lift kits but its not realistic for me where I am looking for mod my daily driver plus double or triple $$$$. Also - are those the go rhino dominator nerf bars?

cjkolcun - is the 8" Rize lift not a complete lift? The only thing that I can tell that is not included is the brake line kit but even if you bought the Rize lift and their brake line kit it is still cheaper than the BDS one (not counting installation)

Meatalhead142002-that kit also doesn't appear to have the rear blocks and u-bolts.

I'm not sure why, but jackit.com appears to be $1000 cheaper than topguncustomz. They have the Rize for $2838 which doesn't include rear 6" blocks and u-bolts and front break lines. Unless Rize has gone down a lot on there lifts. Most 6" lifts are close to what jackit.com is selling the 8" Rize. I would estimate a cost for the Rize 8", 20" or 22" wheels, 37" tires, 4:88 gears to come out to at least $7500 + install. If you start adding coil-overs, aftermarket UCA's, steering stabilizer and any other suspenion components you can spend $10k very easy.

Okay - I just called Jack-it and lol well $4010.00 out the door for the lift, labor brake lines, etc

i got my 12inch Rize for 2800 shipped lol. Call crown performance or go to their website. They are good great i got a set but ended up not needed them. You can get like 10 different colors. But its not a cheap lift man but the quality is there.

IORf150, ya truck is sick *** hell bro and mhockey. How much for the fuels and 38s? I have a 2002 ram 1500 2wd with 6" lift and 2.5 coilspacer and 37s. But im bout to add a 3" body lift and either 20x14 or 22x14 octanes( all black) with 37s, 38s, or 40s. Also saving for a 12" fullthrottle lift for 15-18" of lift. Do u think i can fit the 38x15.5 when i add the body lift? it will be about 12" of lift?

If you go with a 14" wide wheel you have a limited tire selection unless you don't mind the look of a 13.5" tire on a 14" rim. 20x14's with 38x15's would be pretty sweet. If you get the 22x14's you can get a 37 or 38, but tire side wall will be stretched. 40's will fit good. I've posted an F-150 on here a while back with 22x14's and 37" Mud Grapplers. Some like the style while other don't.

Thanks man, rims and tires were about $2000. That was also with me trading in my old tires, so I would say around $3000. Yeah 20x14 are nice, they also have 20x12 which would look good on some 38x15.5. Yes you should be able to clear them.

what are your guy's opinions on Body lifts? I had one on my 79 F150 when I bought it and took it off because it stiffened the ride up a ton. But on these newer trucks is a body lift still as noticeable with the space guards or whatever they are called?

In other words, If I did a 6" lift with a 2" body lift running 38 or 37 in tires?
