Info Needed On Rize 8"

I looking at buying this although i like a few things checked first.

Drive shaft specs? and Also where to buy?

Anyone have one and care to share pics?

besides new shocks what else would i need?

i own a 2005 they said something about brake lines.

Not alot has been said about the Rize lift kits on here alot of fabtech and other 6" lift kits but just not my cup of tea..

quick Notes- My truck is a 2005 FX4 4x4 auto.

Driving styles - out on the town and stay away from mud.

look at fx4life for pics, driveshaft is usually a hit or miss probably should get new ones and regear would help out a lot with 37's

Those would be "normal" rims around here. Big rims are 22's+. Im a big rim kinda guy to. I want the 8" rize with 38's on 24's.

i love my lift, wouldnt have it any other way. mine is a 05 and i didnt need a new drive shaft. did need the brake line extender things and my rims are 20s. for the most part i drive on road and it is the smoothest ride ive ever had in a lifted truck and offroad i havent been stuck yet. i have a bunch of pictures in my album on here but you can also go to my photobucket account
