Rize lift 8" or 6"?

I have a 2005 f150 4x4 and I know I want to put a rize lift on it, I just don't know if I am better off with 6 or 8" lift. Also do I need to get different driveshafts for the truck? Do I need to order leaf springs for the truck to be level and if so how big????
Any other modifications needed to make the lift work correctly???
Any help appreciated.........

Definetly the 8" lift kit if your going with RIZE. There are better priced 6" kits for less...but get the 8" kit because you'll just want it later if you get the 6.

So you would need a new front driveshaft for the trucks 4 wheel drive to function properly at higher speeds.

From my experiences, the fact that you posted this means you should go with the 8 inch lift. If you go with the 6 inch kit, you will regret it shortly.

Definetly the 8" because it doesn't take long to want more lift after you install the 6" kit.
