You must be the most patient person on earth. I wouldn't believe one word out of those idiots mouth after having my truck for 10 months to design a lift kit that multiple other companies already produce.

Yeap Patient I am.. I was so invested in time and expense's flying there and back..i just didnt want to call it quits. considering i got the full kit with traction bars and coilovers for the price of a standard BDS kit it was worth the wait in that aspect. After I stayed at the new owners house for a week and in the shop waching them develop the kits in their CAD machines made me even want to see this done.Their kits are top notch and I havent read anything bad about the kits except good things this is coming from the Dodge and Chevy and Ford forums. I have done my due diligence on their kits and only thing i did come across is their customer service was poor and I can say it was bad in the beginning. but that was in the past and now Rize has a new owner .All this taking place while my truck was over there. Moving locations getting set back up ect ect..so yes there were set backs to say the least.
Just wait till you guys see the final pics.

Lifting a gas truck like that in my opinion is a horrible investment. Lifted gas trucks are retarded on fuel. Don't get me wrong. I love lifts in a truck but diesels are a much better things to lift as they don't get affected near as much on fuel economy. Just my 2 cents

Should have just kept the change, why would you call an idea (lifted gas trucks) retarded on a thread, specifically documenting ONE persons lifted 1/2 ton? If you don't like it, or think it's retarded as you put it, then do everyone a favor and don't waste their time by leaving S*** like this. You don't like it, but this is someone else's pride and joy.

[MENTION=75537]awdturbo4[/MENTION], can't wait to see how this thing turned out.

I apologize, "a horrible investment". It's HIS truck, and HIS build thread and you're comparing lifted 1/2 tons to lifted heavy duties on an F150 forum, that was my point.

The funny part is that I get close to the same gas mileage with my truck as a stock truck would. If your really concerned about mpgs with a truck go buy a civic
