That is kind of what i am thinking about to, I have coil overs but worried about off road rubbing...Probably will try to fit them without the body lift first...

If I was you I would try to avoid a body lift if possible. They just don't look good to me. I had one on my old truck, and I always wished I had done suspension instead

I have had them before, with the suspension as well as the body lift it would not look bad. With the coil overs cranked and the body lift I will have 11", might as well consider 39's instead of 37's...I plan to try to fit the 37's without the body lift first though...

with 8" you should be able to fit 37s. The 8" Rize kit recommends 37s so at worst I would think slight rubbing offroad. With my 6" and Iron Bull front bumper it looks like I could drive with 37s on the street now. I'm planning on putting a 1.5" leveling kit to go up to 37x13.50s

I have the exact same setup as JOSIAH but I bumped up the back a bit so its like 1/4" higher in the back than the front (with the lextra AS 2" spacer up front). I have 40+ kms on it and she has been good so far. Its a pavement princess but I did have to change out the tie rods so I used MOOG's as the ones before were chinese, so much better now. I also had to replace a wheel bearing, was it part of the reason because of the lift, I don't know. I can rip on the highway 140kms plus and no wobble but if you go over train tracks or some un even surface it can get a bit squirlly.

My old F-150 currently has 35k miles. The llift was put on at 2500 and 37's were put on at 13k miles. No front end parts have been changed to date, but when he brought it in a month ago to rotate tires and align the shop mechanic told him the steering box had some play. He could only tell when all tires were off the ground. He compared it to a stock 05 with 130k miles and it felt the same so did not have a truck with equal miles to compare to.

I currently have a BL on top of my 6" Fabtech and think it looks great. The key is install the gap guards...world of difference!



Oh and I'm running 37s on 20's. Love the combo!

Mossy why are you looking at adding a 1.5" spacer instead of just cranking your coilovers a little?

No, planning on leaving out the leveling kit. Unless I absolutely need it. But I think I'll get by just fine without it

I have the 6in fabtech with the leveling kit... truck had 69k mile on it when I added the lift. Now 20k miles later running 37's on 22" Mazzi hulks... I'm still very pleased... They do rub a little more than I'd like off road, but Mine is a street use truck. Seems to be holding up great.

I've been keeping any eye out for a set of 38's or 39's lately, but prices are
