Has anyone by chance seen any of the Rize 6" kits for sale anywhere for the '04 and up F-150. I undstand that the manufacturer as stopped making them due to the demand of the 8" and higher for the newer F-150?
Thanks for your time.

 

First I've heard of that.

 

Me too.....are you interested in a 6" Rize? I think there was only a $200 difference between the 2 just go with the 8" lift.

 

Yep - just going to with the 6", but wanted too long to make the plunge. No I can't find any of the distributors that have them in stock.
Sooooo ........... I guess I will have to go to plan B, once I come up with one.
Thanks guys.

 

why not go with the 8? is there a specific reason?

 

I just sort settled in on the 6"; my truck is my "daily" driver and I also tow a Jeep with it from time to time. Oh don't get me wrong, I love the look of the 8" Rize with 37's but its just not in the cards for me now. I have some access issues as well with parking garages that I also have to consider. It seems that for the most part the trucks with 6" lifts can still access most of them around here. I had actually decided to go the FabTech route with coil overs, then stumbled on to the Rize lifts............... Funny thing is, most of the shops around here have never heard of them. It doesn't appear as if they ever pick up an off-road magazine to see what is going on in the world around them.
I also considered BDS just because of their "no fine print" warranty; you break it, they'll replace it. Not that I would ever put the truck through paces that would break anything, but you just never know.

 

bds is a really good company. i had my 6" installed for $2100. rides as good as stock. soaks up all the bumps in a road partly due to bigger tires. id recommend them if you plan on going with a 6" lift.

 

06yz250f,
Hey thanks for the feedback on the BDS lift. There does not seem to be many folks out there running this brand. Again, what caught my eye was the warranty. I don't think they offer any sort of coil-overs with there kits though, do you know?
By the way, your truck looks really good!

 

thanks for the compliments.
and for the reason alot of people might not run it is because not alot of people carry it. the place i had install mine is the only distributor in the area and i live in houston. they sell the lifts to the dealerships to install as well in the area. i dont believe they have a coilover kit but i might be wrong. id call them and ask or check their website.
