Call andrew at Exalt Motorsports. They have a full selection of rear shocks for the 8" Rize. Bilstein %100's will cost you about $150 for both and the standard Rize shocks will cost somewhere around $100-$120 for both. You can spend alot more and go with remote resevior or piggyback shocks and spend about $600-$1000 for both, Don't forget you need to do something to get the rear up 8" too. Like the Rize 6" block and an AAL. Exalt sells both for about $350. You're gonna need the extended brake lines too which they sell for about $100. Their # is 619-444-2300. I would almost bet that you could get the 8" Rize basic kit through them for cheaper than what you found.

You can't go by what they have listed on their site. Their shipping calculator doesn't work right and gives you a price that is way too low. It tells you to call to get an accurate quote. The price of the lifts have gone up since Jan 1st. That $2163 is not the right price. You are going to pay a lot more for your option 1 because of the shipping being more, the price increase of the lift and the fact that you haven't factored in the rear lift block and AAL it takes to get 8" of lift in the rear. You can't just throw some shocks on their to get the lift. It doesn't work like that.

Just so you know, your option 2 kit actually includes the AAl, rear block, brake lines and the rear shocks. You need to call them to get the right prices for everything including shipping. It's easier to call Andrew and talk to him about what you want and need. He'll get you straightened out. I did this. I know.

I know what the site says but I also know from talking to them that it does not come with those items. Jan 1st Rize quit including the block with all of their kits. I keep trying to tell you that pretty much nothing their site says is accurate. Not ony that but they don't list even 10% of what they sell on that thing. You didn't say anything about having an AAL or even address the block topic so it appeared that you didn't know what was up. I'm not trying to be a ****....just trying to help you out.

If you don't want my help just say so and i'll quit posting messages to this thread. You can't post half of what's going on and expect people to just know the other half. Again, not trying to be a **** and I ope you're not either.

Just make it simple and call Exalt already. They're nice guys and will get it all sorted out. I promise!

I bet they will honor that price if you cause all hell. False adverting. I've done it before on different sites and it worked out.

Yeah I agree with that. I didn't have to though. I bought enough stuff and mentioned the prices I had seen on the site enough that they gave me those prices anyway. I ordered $5300 worth of stuff though.

There's 3 different 8" Rize kits. The basic IFS kit contains the drop brackets and spacers for the front only and lists for like $2200. The basic 8" system contains drop brackets, spacers, brake line kit, aal, block and rear Rize 2.0 shocks. That one goes for like $2800. The other one is the 8" performance system. It includes all the stuff that the basic system does but it comes with King coilovers and matching 2.5 Rize shocks and goes for $4900.

I got the basic IFS kit, brake line kit, King coilovers anodized in black instead of blue, King 2.5 piggyback shocks also anodized in black and Total Chaos UCA's for just over $5300.

Exalt and Rize are partnering companies in San Diego and Exalt gets better prices than anyone else because one of the 2 owners dad's has actually invested an assload of money into Rize. That's the story I got atleast.

What did you pay for your Rize FX4life?
