Exclamation What lift to go with?

I am thinking about putting a suspension lift on my 07 screw fx4. I have looked mostly at the 8" Rize and the 6"Fabtech. I want to get a 37" tire on, so I know with the Fabtech I would need to do a body lift also. Which one should I go for? the Fabtech with body lift or the Rize? and does anybody have any idea on how much a rize lift costs? What other modifications would I need to make to the truck if I put a rize lift on? Sorry alot of questions, just learning.

I love my rize, but you dont need a B/L lift for 37 on fabtech all you need is a spacer or a/s.

Would that work?? I was thinking that the fabtech would lift the front up by 6" +/- and the back up by 3" +/-. If you added an A/S, that'd lift the front up enough, but the back would be sagging. Would you also have to do an AAL in the rear to 'level' it out??

You will void the lift warranty on virtually every lift if you use a spacer with a lift. It changes a lot of geometry. While a lot of guys do it, it doesn't make it right. There's a lot of guys running the Rize, some are sure to chime in.

I'm running a 6" SkyJacker and 37x13.5 DC FCII tires on the DC1 rims (9" wide). I would not recommend a straight 6" with 37s, lots of modifying (including prerunner fender) to avoid contact. Different wheel width and offset might get you there, but I wouldn't mess around.
