8 inch Rize in the front. What in the back?

Ok so i just bought a used 04-06 Rize 8 inch lift kit i am getting new bearing and bushing for it and then powder coating black. My question is what type of lift should i do in the back here is what i thought. One Up Offroad 6 inch traction blocks and short bars for around 1600 shipped with 5100 shocks. Or Get a 7 or 8 inch atlas leaf pack, 5100, and custom traction bars for about 1500 + or -.. Any input would be greatly appreciated, i want to be able to tow a 22ft boat, so witch is the best rear lift option i have for the 8 inch front lift.

Leaf pack, either 6" if you want it level or 8" if you wanna keep the rake.

So your gonna keep the stock rake? And have you looked into deaver and national?

The amount of leafs doesn't really tell us much considering they're usually made custom so it could change the carry capacity, the ride, etc.

Yah that is true... I am wanting to keep my stock rake and have the load capacity the same so i can tow. I have look into all of them but trying to decide what company is the best bang for the buck. Check out these traction bars i might get one made around $400 bucks. Called offroaddesign here the link. Ima check with all the spring companies today to see what there gona charge me for a 8 inch pack.

You shouldn't need trac bars with leaf packs, in your case you'd only need them if you had huge lift blocks.

Sorry Pizzaman, kinda running on, but Carrier makes them use stock bolts and brackets and they quoted me $20 less than Atlas shipped. National is out of my price range they wanted close to $1500 for a set shipped. Witch company should i go with Im getting some more quotes today though. From Alcan and some others.
