I was going to suggest that when stepping up to 8" lifts comes the possibilities for extended driveshafts, and probably extended brake lines. Wheel spacers will get you any offset you want, just need to be careful.

$145 each for a Moog one and 40 minutes of my time, I love internet searching, YouTube instructional videos, and Summit Racing.com!

No problem, I certainly know how you feel. I've wanted to lift mine for almost two years, but I'm still my parent's insurance, and they don't want me to haha. Make sure to come back and post pics whenever you get everything done!

OK everything is purchased for the truck. It's being lifted today and the rims were on backorder so I will get the new rims and tires on monday. I changed a fee things though. I went with the 6" pro comp lift and their coilovers and I went with moto metal 18x10 rims with 4.5 BS on 325/65/18 mickey thompson mtzs. I can't wait to see the lift today, but I'm more excited to see the wheels and tires on monday.
