Alright well i just got 1500 bucks and im about to lift my truck some more.
Im debating on what to do. I am thinking a few things.

1) sell my 8" rize (how much could i sell it for??) and maybe purchase a 12" but i dont think this will be practical since i need the rize uninstalled, then pay for the second kit to be installed which prob would be $1200 total between the two.
LIFT: 12"

2) Buy a 3" body lift, im not a big fan of them, but i might go this route, but then i need some custom brackets made for my boondock bumper to be lifted along with it. so im guessing what...$1000 for the body lift and installation? then some money for brackets.
TOTAL LIFT:11"

3) This is option im leaning to more....but kinda dont wanna do it cause its the least amount of lift. So buying 2" lift brackets for the rear, then buying procomp or fabtech front coilovers, and crank them and put a 2" spacer on them top. (good or bad idea?)
TOTAL LIFT: 10"

i dont want to spend more then 1000 of my 1500 cause 500 is going towards finishing my tattoo....

thanks for any help....feel free for other suggestions also.

Thanks

PS- pics coming soon of chopped exhaust, hids, harley heads, tinted tails and 3rd brake light.

 

i want to make a decision by end of week so i can get started on it.

 

The biggest bang for the buck and ease to install is lift shackles and bilsteins up front set at 2".

 

by kings cranked to 10'' and new rear leafs

 

SBchris what is your current setup lift and tires

i would love to do kings, and new leags, but thats so expensive.

 

Rize with Sway-A-ways and Nationals. If you wanted to go this route you would need to double your 1500 and then maybe a little more money. King & Radflo will also made coil-overs for the rize kit. I can't speak for fox but I'm sure they could fab up a coil-over.

The bilstein and shackles could be done out the door for under 500 easy with labor I'd guess leaving you with 1K in your pocket.

Depends what you are going for and how much money you really want to burn...

 

x2

I'd say body lift, but as you mentioned it would pita with the bumper

 

i think im ruling out Body Lift since its pita, and expensive, and i dont like em too much anyway.

i kinda lke this bilstein and shackle idea....but still like pro comp/fabtech coilovers......12" also out of question..

 

Leveling Pros has one more 12inch Rize left when i bought mine. I got it for 2800 shipped to my door and will be putting it on myself. Depends on how much money you get from your other lift then its a possibility. But you still need driveshafts, shocks, leaf springs/block, etc.....

But option number 3 is ok to do but you can't stack a spacer on top of the cranked coil overs. Plus if 10inch isnt enough for you later on then you can add the body lift.

 

12" for 2800?!?! wow i would do that....didnt even think of DS's and all that tho...

i was told i can put a spacer on cranked coilovers

 

no you can't put a spacer on an already cranked coilover. it would be like putting a leveling kit on the size of the spacer plus however many inches the coilover is cranked. well i suppose you could do it if the coils were only cranked like an inch then put another inch spacer on there but thats just wasting money.

 

yeah guys i just realized im a idiot, and have MEANT to be saying taking pro comp/fabtech coilovers, cranking them two inches, and then putting a 2" leveling kit on also...for 10" in the front.....thats what i meant...can i not do that?

 

im not sure if you can do that, but why not get some that are made of 8" lifts than crank em up. the Pro-comps/ fabtechs are for 6"

 

cause all the ones i know of that are for 8" lifts are like 1500 bucks..like the kings, and swayaways...unless anyone else makes them...

if i go the strut shackle route....this is what im buying/need correct? http://www.suspensionconnection.com/...tein-f150.html and http://app.infopia.com/Shop/Control/...d/0/rid/127794

 

Yup that is the stuff! Wow, that is way cheaper than I thought!!!
