By that point your tires may not be in the wheelwells anymore.

 

i now like the idea of the 3 inch body......

but i still do not trust my stock coilovers off road with the giant spacer. onyl reaason i dont wanna go with a body lift.

 

It sounds like you have a money tree.

This is what I'd do. Get the DLs and 2" billet spacer, that will give you 8" of lift up front and than you can get the body lift. It'd look amazing!

 

i really dont have the money

i have about 650 sitting in the bank right now....and thats ALL i have left....so for christmas im asking for either
A) Brush Guard With Lights
B) Exhaust
C) Tuner And Intake
D) Coilovers

 

why didnt you just get the 10" suspension lift?

 

Honestly, I'd get the Tuner and Exhaust.

Just chill out about putting more lift. Its too nice of a truck to offroad anyways. Don't ruin a good thing. I could of swore you said you needed this truck to last.

Theres only a 6, 8, and 12.

 

yeah only 6, 8, and 12, i would have gone with a 10 if it was there

and i do need this to last, but i aint doing anything to hard, here in GA alls we got is mud, hills and shallow streams. so id basically be doing a lesser version of Josiahs Video. once every few weeks

 

test out your setup first and then decide whether you need an extra couple of inches.

 

i know i do because when im turned and hit a bump i rub...

 

Take the money and buy a beater truck to offroad in.....not your $30,000 everyday driver...

 

Exactly..

 

I wouldn't add a 2" spacer on top of the DL coilovers. The Rize was designed to keep your stock steering geometry and adding a spacer eliminates that. The stock steering geometry of the Rize lift is the thing I like about it.

I would go with the new King coilvers that someone here said are coming out to work with the Rize 8" lift. Or, check with Fox to see if they make a coilover that works with the Rize.

The body lift isn't a bad idea...I had one on my 2000 F150 (w/ a 6" lift) and I offroaded that thing like crazy with no poblems. I just don't like how the body lift looks like on our new body style...shows too much frame.

 

How does it not maintain the stock steering geometry, if you make sure that the DL coilover and spacer are the same length as the Rize extender and Ford strut/spring??

 

I agree. That's why I bought my Bronco for $500 bucks. I can beat the crap out of it all day long, and I don't care if I bump a tree with it or get mud inside. And best of all, if I break it in the woods, I can still get in my $30,000 truck the next morning that is still straight, clean, and reliable and drive it to work.

Also, when I blow the thing up, I can still part it out and recover my $500 initial investment, and go buy another one!

 

well mabye i will buy a beater truck, but one i can seirosuly rock the hell out of and in good condition.....and around the same price as my coilovers would cost haha.

but i have ruled out the body lift, cause as i stated 2 or 3 times, i dont wanna be off roading on my stock coilovers with the extender.
and im not doing any hard off roading....just lighter then Josiah in his video.
