im relifting my truck

by next june my truck will be sitting another 6 inches higher and on 40's i just ordered the front end of the lift then i need a couple weeks to get the rear end lift for the truck then i will need a couple months for the tires lol, but i ordered the whiplash 14' suspension lift kit which i am stoked to get lol, 8' just isnt big enough for me, its time to upgrade,

Even for a supercrew, that is too high and out of proportion for my taste. It will be interesting to see it on a supercab. For the tires, I think 40's will look fine. What brand of tires are you getting? Keeping same wheels?

Someone is going to get a good deal on a used Rize lift....luckyyy

i thought the 8 would look kinda stupid on my truck but in reality it looks pretty badass and i like doing different so hopefully within the next 3-5 weeks i should be recieving the first parts lol, but im definately stoked about it, and just search whiplash suspension they have pics of trucks with there lift on them, and im thinkin about the kumhos or toyos not to sure thats about 2,500 im not to concerned about the brand til the time comes

IFS isn't really meant to be put through that kind of stress, particularly since you like to offroad. honestly, you would be better off with swapping in a solid axle. it would be cheaper, too.

DB, why not just do a SAS and make your truck really well built for how well you use your truck. thats meant as a compliment. for the money you will be spending why not?

be interesting to see whatcha gotta say about the SAS. i thought for sure, that would be your next suspension mod.

Either way, it will look bad ***. Its a lot to be asking of IFS, but you should be fine. You know how to fix things, and don't complain when ya break. Hopefully, you will be taking her easy after that last trip (or are you doing this, so you can make it through that mudhole ??? )

With a single cab raised that high, a roll cage would be a smart investment. Your CVs are gonna be crying.

i thought about solid axle but i just dont have the ability to let my truck sit while some shop takes two weeks to build and fabricate a setup like that then its about 4 or 5 grand for that then another 2 grand to do the rear end, so when i saw the whiplash kit i was like sweet lol cuz its a straight bolt on kit and its the complete kit i called and basically the use the front stock shocks(like rize does) and the rear i beleive they are fox shock thats what the guy said when i ordered the parts... and i know all the stuff about how bad it is but like i have already said i wont be taking any dives anymore like i used to just light playing lol....

but if you all have anything to correct me on i will take any advice...i know theres a ton of knowledge on this site

Couldn't you just invest in some adjustable front coilover shocks like Kings for the front and get another 2 inches out of that and then do a 3 inch body lift instead? You would have essentially 13" of lift which is pretty much what you want and then you wouldn't have to ditch the RIZE kit, which is probably a better kit and would probably save you money and the hassle of having to take it off and put another lift on?

Just my 2 cents.....I dunno
