Rize leveling kit pros or cons

I was thinking about getting a rize leveling kit for my 2004 fx4 supercrew. I was wondering has anyone on here tried this kit and if so were there any compliments or complaints.

No one here has one. A few members have their full suspension lifts. Do you have a link?

For one the price is ridiculous. I'm sure it's a great product though.

ok i spent the extra 2 minutes and searched and found it yep they have a leveling kit it is a 2.5 anodized billit alum block.. it looks cool and is price at 227 from auto anything it is comparable to readylifts pricing but we all know its a spacer and the same affect can be had for 70 dollars from HBS,AS or FBG

Why would you spend 227 on one when you can get an Autospring kit for like 75 or so? I don't see how you can improve a leveling kit to make it worth that much more.

Marketing gimmick. I wonder how Ready Lift sells any leveling kits since they are so overpriced.

I love Rize's products, they are of the highest quality around! Plus the R&D and time spent on the little things on everything they produce makes them more than worthwhile. I'll agree though that is a steep price for the leveling kit market, especially when a product of basically the same design is 3/4's the cost. I love the Rize stuff, but if leveling was all i was after i would probably pass on this one. Then again knowing me and my high dollar tastes...

strongly advise NOT to get the Rize leveling kit. it is way too big. most 2.5" kits have a thickness of around 1.75" or lower. the rize is actually 2.5" thick and is waaay too high. the suspension angles are way too crazy. im in the process of wrestling with Rize Industries on the phone tryin to return this useless spacer.
