Best 8" lift for 2008 f250 diesel 4wd?

There are a bunch of options but which is the best for smooth ride and appearance? 8" or more up to 10" no more than that tho. Just wanna fit 24" rims with 38" kumho's. i want the smoothest ride possible but want it too look sharp underneath the truck. Let me know what yall think.

you have a f250. we all besides jbmx have f150's. we cant tell you first hand about this. but rize is always a great choice. and they look cool. i have never heard one complaint about an rize on an f150 so im sure the quality carries onto the f250 as well.

I've read good things about the BDS 8" kit. Looks pretty nice. It is also a 4 link kit.

Man, thats gotta hurt at the pumps. I've read where the newer 250's were getting horrible gas mileage due to some of the emission laws. I can't imagine the MPG on one with 38's. I wish I had your money! At least it will look bad *** though!

another one to look into is the fabtech 8" or 10" kit and it comes with the hoops for the 4.0 dirt logic coilovers, you can get it with radius arms or the 4 -link setup. that'll get the looks your goin for too

i have an 08 250. If I were looking at a 8 inch lift kit, I would look at the Fabtech or Rize.

Not sure if I can post it here or not and don't want to break any forum rules, but you should look on the diesel truck forum and check out the after market and mod section for 250's, 350's, 450's.

If I can give you the forum link without breaking a rule let me know and I'll be glad to give it to you.
