Im looking to get an 8 inch lift and 2 inch leveling kit on my 2006 f150. Can i fit some 38 x 14.5 tires? also do i have to get new gearing? thanks!

 

The tires should fit, but you'll absolutely need new gears front and back. Those tires will be massive and stress out your tranny. And you'll have to budget almost $2,000 for that.

Also, make sure the lift isn't just a spacer lift, but replacement struts because stacking spacers isn't good. But I think most if not all 8" lifts have full replacement front ends

 

I think bds is a cranked up 6" to make 8" but with 6" angles, iirc rize is the only one able to be bumped up to 10" but that may have changed.

 

BDS's 8 inch is $600 more than their 6 inch, so I'd hope there's more of a difference than just that!

But I also just noticed this is the intro forum. Post in the suspension forum for more replies buddy. Welcome though!

Welcome to the site... Enjoy the ride...

 

Yeah, you will only be able to do a 8" RIZE lift kit if you want to add another 2". BDS is just 6" lift parts plus and then 8" struts. RIZE is the only true 8" lift other than getting a custom one from Bulletproof or some other company. You can fit 38x13.5 Toyos on just a 8" RIZE so you will be able to fit 38x14.5 on 10" of lift. There is a guy on the other forum with a 8" RIZE and 2" leveling kit that has 38x15.5x20 Toyos. Knezat225 is his name.

 

thanks a lot everyone for the info!
