Need advise on 8"

I have been planning on getting the rize 8", but I just started looking around and found that CST is the only other qaulity lift that has a 8" but it is about $250 cheaper. Would yall sugest just dishing out the extra 250-300 to get the rize or is the CST just as good. I did see a CST 8" for $800 on ebay but it had like 11 bids so it is probably alot higher than that. I only have enough money now for the lift, im going to have to keep saving up for tires/wheels.

Im not completely sure but I think Rize comes with shocks and CST you have to buy them seperatly so I would look into that too cause that will up the price also.

So anyone else know for sure if the RIZE comes with the shocks and the CST doesnt? I think the RIZE looks better aesthetically underneath than the CST, but I wasnt going to let that be the determining factor if I could could one cheaper.

I just saw a Rize setup fail. I was in my Jeep Grand Wagoneer and he was trying to follow me up a trail. Looked like the crossmember between the a-arms failed. Thing folded like a taco. This wasn't at high speed either, and it was an easy trail.

The crossmember folded. The front lower control arm mount got pushed up and in. If you look at the front crossmember, it looked like it bent where the factory bends are in the Rize crossmember. From the way that it failed, I would be afraid to put a tire up over a curb with that lift.
