The most your going to stretch your 5" lift would be an additional 2" by a torsion bar crank and blocks. Other option would be a 3" body lift.

There isn't any 8" lifts for our bodystyle trucks but there are 10" 12" and 14" lifts by Whiplash and Full Throttle but keep in mind going that big with IFS is for looks only.

 

i just want enough to clear 37s and i dont like body lifts... what about blisteins cant you get some that add 2 inches cause cranking torsion bars will just wear your front end out

 

The shocks on our trucks do not support any vehicle weight. The 04-11's have coilover shocks which is a completley different suspension system. A 3 inch body lift is your best bet.
