Any particular reason you wanna go with an 8" Rize on 37's? Don't get me wrong the setup is but IMO you can save a ton of money and maybe prevent future problems by going with a 6" Fabtech Suspension Lift W/35's. And like THUMP said you could go with an xcal2 or something!! BTW not trying to hijack here but I spoke with Justin the other day @ VMP Tuning and he's really pushing the Xcal3 now. They say they got some flukes worked out with them and there going really good right now!

um because i do not like 35's. i just dont like the look. i think they are too small. i know 35's are more practical but like i said i just dont like them. and no man u didnt hijack haha im chill with that. thanks for the info.

Have you seen a 35" tire on a newer F150 in person ?
Just curious.

haha yes i have. many of times. and i have seen a newer f150 with 35's and a newer one with 37's next to each other. the height is not too much but the tire size is significant. dont get me wrong because im pretty sure you have 35's right? i think it looks good but i think 37's look better. i have always wanted a lifted truck with 37's and i had a tacoma before this truck and could not do that very easily so now that i have the truck im going to do it for sure haha

haha i agree. and i have heard if you are even considering going with 37's that you would be disappointed with 35's and want 37's haha. the only think that could hold me back from 37's would be voiding my warrantee.

I don't take any offense at all, the reason i asked because I was thinkin the same thing as you, then I got to see an 05 lifted in person, and changed my mind.

Yup, i am rockin the 35" tires. Like the stance a lot, and just didn't wana add on all the extra cost of bigger tires. Plus I go off roading, and IMO, IFS can't handle bigger then 35" tires for too long, especially with me behind the wheel.

They have to prove that whatever modifaction you did, directly relates to the broken part. if they can do that, no warranty for that part.

Go with the 37s, more than likely you'll want bigger after a few months anyways.

Ya, I agree with thump. If you have seen 35's compared to 37's and want 37" tires, then go with it. Don't spend thousands of dollars on something you wont be completely happy with, ya know ? Just know the added cost of gears and gas. If your ok with that, then get it done ! and post up some pics. What rim/tire combo you going with ?

Ya, actually Pro-Comp really stepped up, sent me two brand new ones, for free. They just came in today, actually. Will be back to riding tall by tonight !!! So, I would reccomend Pro-Comp, they really went out of their way for me.
