6" Rize

Quick question, I am planning on getting the 6" rize but haven't really done my researd and don't really have time to do so. Are there any known problems with the lift? Also I hate the look of blocks in the back. Can you use AAL on the 6" Rize? Thanks

To get lift in the rear your going to have to use blocks or a new leaf pack, which is going to be way more epensive. You can't get an AAL that's 6 inches, if there is one that would be one horrible ride. Why do you not like blocks?

6" rize? dont get that. If you go Rize, get the 8" it costs the same amount. As far as a 6", the Fabtech is a better value lift then the rize. no spacers or shock lifts, all replacement shocks, etc. and costs a ton less. If you really want to spend 2500 on a 6" lift, get RCD.

no such thing as a 6in rize, never produced it, and fabtech is not more valueable then rize no matter how you cut it, it might come with new shocks but those shocks are terrible

Yea I meant the 8" I dont know why I typed 6". So there is no way to lift the rear without blocks. Let me ask a different question then. What do most of you find to be the best ride quality? The most extensive off roading I will do is a little mud.

2500 bucks for a 6" lift that comes with shock spacers? id take the fabtech shocks over stock w/ spacer any day, and for almost a grand less...sorry dude, hard to beat. Plus, personal opinion here, but the rize crossmember is quite ugly. They should sell it in black.

Yes you are right. Wonder why 4wheelparts is selling a 6" rize for the f-150's, must be a mistake

Personally ,I think for the same price you could get the 6in RCD lift which comes with the longer bilsteins instead of using the stock fronts.

I'm almost positive the rize has a higher perch on the crossmember so you can run your stock shocks with out using a space.Thats the nice thing about it.I had a 6in Fabtech on my 99 and the Fabtech shocks suck big time.The ride quality sucks on them.There is no way I would put them on a truck again.Go RCD and get the Bilsteins that are longer and don't use spacers just like Fabtech
