04 F150 4x4 ( RIZE OR FABTECH )
 
I am looking to lift my 04 F150 4x4. Is there any benifits to Rize or Fabtech and will these lifts still need a leveling kit afterwards ? What tire size will I be able to put on ? I am partial to Goodyear Wrangler MTR's if that helps... Thanks for your help...

Both are excellent kits and you can't go wrong with either. I'd also consider the RCD lift. The biggest advantage I see between them is the appearance of the Rize. It's crossmember looks like a work of art. The Rize is also availble in an 8 and 12 inch version if you want to go really big.

Russ47 10-27-2007 09:19 AM

rize is better then fabtech. with the 8" rize you can fit 37's and with the fabtech 6" you can only fit 35's, unless you want to do like alot of members do on this site and stack a leveling kit on top of the fabtech lift to fit 37's... but depending on your budget either lift is awesome :thumbsup:

get the rize lift, if you go with a 6" lift your gonna wanna go bigger, not like your not wanna go bigger with the rize but you wont regret it.

Rize, its just that easy, ride amazing no spacer you Cv axles are perfect, and can always add a spacer if you want to go bigger

Are you talking about the Rize 6 inch or 8 inch kit?

If you're talking about the Rize 6" kit than I'd just go with the 6" RCD or 6" Fabtech with Dirt Logics. But if you're considering the Rize 8" than you should just get that since it'll be two inches bigger and comes with the steering set-up that Rize has. It's just about how much you want to spend. Neither lift kit will require a leveling kit up front, although most will need something in the rear like an add-a-leaf or bigger block.

Definitely would go bigger than 39.5's with all that lift.

same here, I would never get a body lift period. Id go with a rize lift though, I looked at 6" lifts with a spacer, but why not just spend the extra cash and get the quality and looks of the rize kit? At least thats the path i chose to take, to each their own though. . :beers:

only reason i say that is because i wouldnt go any bigger than a 40 on a IFS. 39.5's would tuck really nice, and leave just enough gap in the wheel wells to look clean :smoke:

Holy crap I don;t wanna know the cost of each tire!


WWell.........maybe I do, what is it?

f150monster232 10-28-2007 05:56 PM

ha theres ppl on here with 39.5/16.5 im sure with a body lift you could easy clear 41.5 iroks, but body lifts are gay.. Just do the 12in rize will end up costing the same with all the crap you will add.

bigrigpapa 11-10-2007 01:23 PM

Well, could someone tell me about how much I am looking at for the RIZE 8" kit complete and where is the best place to get it from ??

wxscpo 11-10-2007 01:34 PM

Not trying to be a **** or anything, but did you try this?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...uspension+lift

There's tons of information out there on the web if you do a quick search.

Synergy16 11-10-2007 01:42 PM

If I had a 4x4 I would hands down go with the 8" Rize! :thumbsup:

that tire must look retarded!!! 42x14 thats way to skinny of a tire.

i dont like the sub frame of the rize and i dont really like fabtech, sooo for me it would be between a CST 8" and the RCD 6" lifts hands down. the one i would pick out of those two is on my truck.

agree with you there should atleast be 15.5 but 16.5 would be best

ThumperMX113 11-10-2007 10:29 PM

I've heard they're little bigger than 15" wide.
