Hey is anyone in IL running the 8" Rize lift?
Hey guys, im new here, i live in chicago and just bought an 04 F150 S crew FX4. Im loving the truck. Now for some questions.
I had an 03 Ranger that i threw a solid axle under and lifted it about 20" i had it around finished for about a week and it was parked by a garage that i was working on it at and a drunk driver hit it while it was parked and totalled it. I got a good amount from it so i bought the F150. I had bought a set of 37" Toyo M/T's for it on some 20" KMC Hoss wheels, now i have 37's and no truck to put them on so i must lift this thing.
Now the truck was way above the lift limit here in IL for the size of the truck so i dont want to run into that problem again, the lift law for the F150 is i beleive 27 in front and 29 in the rear, i did some measuring and the rear is goin to be 29 1/4" in the rear, i dont wantto run into any problems with this truck so i was wondering if anyone else on here lives in IL and as one the F150's like this.
O and feel freeto post pictures of your truck with the 8" rize lift if you want, i can look at them all day long.
thanks guys

From ground to lowest part of the frame rails - 22.5"
From ground to bottom of chrome on front bumper - 29"
From ground to bottom of chrome on rear bumper - 29"
Illinois
You can't lift the body from the chassis more than 3 inches. In terms of bumper height, a 4,500-pound GVWR or less and your front bumper can't go higher than 24 inches, and the rear must be no more than 26 inches. GVWRs between 4,501 and 7,500 mean 27 inches at the front and 29 at the rear. Finally, if your truck is between 7,501 and 9,000, the allowable altering is 28 and 30 inches.
