Haha.. Googled 8" rize and the first website that popped up said the highest tire clearance for the 8" lift is a 37" wheel.. guess I shoulda looked before making a thread

Yes, you will want to regear with 37's. I'd go with 4.88's or 4.56, depending on if you tow/haul a lot or do a lot of interstate driving.

I have the 8" Rize lift 37" tires and 20" rims. I have had it lifted for almost a year and finally they changed the gears to 488's. Gas milage improved as well as the power in the truck. Rize for the F150 is the best way to go!

Re gearing really depends on your location, as it varies a lot. It was $1600 for Precission 4.88s with a Mag-Hytec differential cover in Central Florida.
