Of course they'll fit, go for it. Find out if it's a true 8", if not let us know the true lift height. They need to post their instructions online so we can view the damn kit components, why haven't they done this.

i emailed rize about it.....see what they say...and getting feedback from you saying "good to go" is alwasy good. its also going to depend on the price of the kit. cause its 3700 now.....i wanna see how much a discount it is....if its for 3000 or 3100 im for sure doing it.

hey josiah check this out....what you think about this email i jsut got back from Rize
" Sounds like you need our 12" kit for the F-150's which be available soon. 38X15.50 w/ a 10" wheel and a 4.5" b/s. Sounds like it would be too much width. You would have to do alot of trimming to make that work. 37's seem to be more available in 12.50 and 13.50 " widths which would be ideal. Feel free to contact me if you have anymore questions"

Thumbs up

I am planning on stuffing 38s under that lift if I get it also. Toyo has their M/T's available in a 13.50" wide tire for 18s and 20s. Check it out, I'm sure Nitto is the same way.

I don't know if you remember but someone with the name Yellow in his username has a 6" w/3" body lift on 38x15.5" baja claws (yellow fx4). He had rubbing issues but do not remember him fussing too much about it. Definitely contact him, I can see how it'd cause more problems but I don't think it will be too wide myself, never be afraid to trim a little and if someone is doing the lift for you...make them throw in some trimming. I know the install price is rape anyway.

I did the lift but I've seen them quoted as around $600 for an install. I could be wrong but that is the number that comes to mind.

watsup guys, my truck does NOT rub at all anymore, i have the 6 inch fabtech dl cranked all the way, 3 inch body lift and add a leaf, the 38x15.50x20 do not rub at all with this set up, i wish this rize deal was avalible when i was doing my lift, i would of done the 8 inch + 3 inch body with some 40's underneath my truck but o well, patshea ur truck will look sweet with the rize and the 38's and it shouldn't rub that much.
