Get Bilstein 4-6" shocks and crank them up, that'll get you to about 6" of lift. Then put on a 3" body lift, that'll get you to about 8 or 9" of lift.

im gonna throw 2" spacers on my rancho soon, i got 5.5 inches of lift in the front and 2 more should put me at 7.5 or so. or add a body lift for the cheapest route. i guess if you got the $$ sell the rancho and get the rize, or at least a 6 incher and add bilsteins to make 8 inches i assume you wanna run 37's

Cant do that. Your angles will be far too extreme.

No they wont, my angles are fine now, just like putting a leveling kit on a stocker. Wowak has a rancho and a spacer.

looks decent to me

i would think you could get 900 bucks or more for the setup, i would have paid that for mine lift, but i ended up getting mine new for 1203 bucks with shocks

1st thing set up pics so we can see your truck....Then what the hell don't sell your supercharger to get more lift. Save your money and buy a Rize 8" or If you have to have 8" would do 1" spacer and 3" body as someon said before.

That won't work. You can't combine the leveling kit and increase the preload on the Bistiens. The ball joint angles would be unreal if you could even get the front end bolted back together.

Can he run a 1" spacer with the rancho and 3" BL like I said should clear 37" you will have to regear, you will be droping all of 5K on this little add on, make sure this is what you want.
