looking at a truck with a rize lift and even though it has 35" toyos on it it looks like it still cant do much off roading it looks to me like axles are down in stock place and all that stuff in the front is it really needed my be i am wrong so if you have a rize and use it off road please let me know how you like it thanks and do you guys think 19,000 for a 04 with 177k on it is a little steep?

 

i have a 04 fx4 with a rize 8in lift these kits are tanks but it depends on the off roading u want to do with it.

 

and i have no idea on the price sorry cant help there.got mine 2 years ago

 

I think that it is a lot steep! Does it actually have a Rize or just spacers and Rize stickers? Look on KBB.com or NADA.com That is a lot of money for a truck with that many miles.

 

I think it is a lot steep. Generally aftermarket stuff does not add to the value of the truck because most people do not want a vehicle that may have been beaten on. That is a ton of miles on a truck, plus how many were hard wit that kind of a lift on there. My '04 FX4 was under 12k with 39k miles on it, so stock and that i what old me. I would stay away from that truck. Sounds like the current owner believes he has more than he really does.

 

Jinx, but I'll buy you the beer when you get back for servicing (mechanic, lol) our nation.

 

blueovelboy,

177K is way too many miles to have on an '04. I wouldn't buy that truck for any price. If you can afford $19K for a used truck, then you can afford a new truck.

the only way to actually gain ground clearance is with bigger tires not the lift itself. since it only has 35's i am assuming that it has a 6" lift kit. keep in mind that the stock tires are 31's so you only actually added 4 inches of tire therefore not actually gaining much ground clearance. most guys on the site with lift kits have a 6" and a lot of them go offroad you just have to use some common sense. as far as the price that sounds really high. i will sell you my 05 supercrew with only 32k for that price.

 

as noted, true ground clearance is only attained via bolting on oversized tires. think about it, if you pull the tires off your axles, and let them stand freely, where will they be resting? on the ground! going from a 32'' to a 35'' tire is a 3'' increase in tire sidewall, and therefore, a 1.5'' increase in ground clearance. going from a 32'' to a 37'' tire would net you 2.5'' under the axles.

 

i agree with minimonster the only way to acheive true ground clearence is by bigger tires, and i have a rize and i cant say anything but good things about it....its probably the only thing on my truck that i havent replaced lmao...ive gone through a motor, tranny, rear axle, new interior, windows, etc ive beaten my truck up

 

The price is definately steep. I just bought an 04 xlt 4x4 in December with 29,000 miles for $12,500.

 

This summer, I bought my 2006 Stage 3 Roush F150 for $20K with 35K miles (on eBay!). Therefore, I agree that you would be paying too much.

 

Last October I gave $15,500 for my '04 FX4 w/ 60k miles.

 

ya though he was high asking what he is asking but he tried to sell the lift to me and the truck came with it as for the miles he say he goes to Texas then Georgia then back to so.cal and starts all over just wanted some in put on the rize lift thanks and no would not by it for that! was born at night just not last night but did did like the way the lift made his truck look only thing the front end looks to be like a lot of stuff for lack of better words

 

They are trying to rip you off, i got my stock 04 f150 supercrew 4x4 last a year ago $16000 it had 65,000 miles on it
