Got the 8" rize kit...now how do i get bigger??

Recently got the 8" rize with the 2.5 rize blocks on my 07 SCAB, complete with 38" mud grapps, 20" rockstars and 4.88 gears...what can I do to get more lift out of my truck? I was also looking into getting coil-overs for the front, any recommendations?

You could do a front spacer and AALs out back but that'd only get you about 2.5 more, max.

When you say 2.5 blocks, you mean front spacers correct? So you have the 8" lift w/ a 2.5" spacer up front, what do you have in the rear to level it out? If I'm correct in saying that you have a spacer on top of the lift then the only thing you can do to get more lift at this point is get a body lift.

That's correct, I have the spacers in front and I got a bigger leaf pack for the rear to level it out so its currently sitting at 10.5" on 38s. I would love to get it up to around 16" of total lift eventually...when I can get some more $$$ to spend haha

Well in that case me professional* opinion is..
Get the 12" Rize and then BL on top of that if you really want.

Could I just get a 3" BL then toss on some coilovers that have 0-3" adjustable ride height? That would toss me up to 16.5" ride height...and of course, toss on a new drive shaft to compensate for the extra lift.

So pretty much your looking at doing what i did. I replaced my 6inch Skyjacker like almost 2 weeks ago with a 12inch Rize. Before i was running 11inches of lift and now im at 17inches. But heres a pic of the truck on 37s to give you an idea how it might look. Eff one fifty has like the same setup but he will be posting pics up shortly of his. But he had 40s before he upgraded so idk what size he will go with now. Im just waiting on my tires now to wear out before i upgrade. Looks silly but i dont give a damm.

12inch Rize, 3inch Body Lift, 2inch Leveling Kit:

Yeah the only way you're going to get 16" of lift out the current set-up is to do a custom 5" body lift. You can't get anymore suspension lift out of the lift you currently have because it is maxed out. If you wanted 16" of lift you should have gotten the Rize 12" at the very least if not spent the money on an SAS.

Adding coilovers your set-up now would only replace the spacer you have up there. You cna't add the coilovers and crank them with the spacer on there because your suspension is already at it's height limit.

If you tried to do the 3 inches from some new coilovers, I wouldn't give your CVs, boots or ball joints two days, it'd be putting them way beyond their limits with the 2.5 puck and then another 2-3.
Go for the 12" Rize and then if you still want to lift on top of that, do your puck and then a BL if you still want more after the puck.

I would love to see a 5inch body lift on our style trucks

SAS is your only option for that much lift. A 5" body lift will look retarded, the frame sags bad on these trucks to begin with. The 12" Rize looks really good, but reliable functionality of a IFS 4x4 system with 12+" of lift and 40" tires is laughable.

I haven't ever seen body lifts over 3" a 5" BL would indeed have me on the ground laughing my *** off. The real question is, how much would I be spending on a SAS rebuild? Seems like they would involve quite a bit of $$$
