Rize inastall
Looks awesome!
Was it very hard to install? I've installed the AS leveling kit on my truck and it was fairly easy. I went ahead and plastidipped my coils while I had the shocks out. I wouldn't think putting the lift on the front would be much harder than that.

Hard...no but a little time consuming. You will need a jack that lifts pretty tall and some big jackstands. I used 6 ton jackstands and a 3½ ton jack that had to be blocked to lift high enough to just put the stock 32's back on. Some wrenches and sockets over 1" are needed in some places. Everything came out really easy but my truck only had 2000 miles when I did the install. So if yours has seen salt, sand, or mud it may be hard to get some bolts loose. Its all pretty straight forward though. Rize has excellent instructions with color pics that can be viewed on thier web site. Also the people in thier office are very helpful. I had a question about the aal so they gave me a reps cell number, i call and ask my question he pulls his truck over and hops out to look at his and tell me the answer. If thats not great customer service i dont know what is.

Thanks Tuff! I think I might give it a go when I get back home.
Does anyone know if there's a place to buy the rize lifts online? I love their look and they don't have a dealer listed even remotely close to me in Kansas.

Try looking on ebay. I shopped around and the lowest I could find was about 2600. I cant remember the specifics but if your intrested I can look on my ebay history and tell you who I got mine from and how much. Also if you go with the Rize and want the back to sit level you will need atleast a 2" aal. And you will need the front brake line kit depending on the year of your truck.
I've emailed Rize about online dealers. At $2600 I'll avoid local purchases just to prevent paying the sales tax. I can't get to ebay right now over here in the desert but I'll be home soon and I'll get back with you then. Thanks again!
Say did you have to do any cutting to get the rize to fit? I was just reading the latest issue of truckin' and the fabtech they installed on a 07 required trimming of one of the mount points for the replacement a-arms.
Yeah you have to trim one part on the drivers side. Its in the way of the front drive shaft if you dont trim it. If you look at the instructions on the Rize web site you will see what you have to trim. Its not very much and they give you a very nice diagram to show you exactly where and how much to cut. A sawzall took care of it in like 2 min then a few coats of black paint and you can never tell



looks great!
