I've heard the CST 8" only gives you about 6.5" of lift. The Rize Industries would be your best bet. However, the body lift + suspension lift would be a lot cheaper and work just as well. I'll be adding a body lift next year.

Good luck clearing the brake calipers with those 16"ers... I know the 17's just BARELY clear them.

16" wheels won't clear the calipers. Theres only a FEW 17" wheels that will clear and its still sketchy, so your best bet would be to stick with an 18" rim.

Just a suggestion though, don't get the Pro Comp coilovers. If your going to spend the money on the coilovers, get the Fabtech Dirt Logics.

I haven't heard anything about those coilovers so I can't say anything about them. However, I do know that Mud Grapplers are cheaper than the Toyos. Im pretty sure they make Iroks in that size too but Iroks won't last that long.
