Default Need advice on going higher than 6"

I have a 2007, f150, 5.4L, 4x4. I have a stage 1 procomp 6'' suspension kit. I want to go to 8'' but I'm trying to avoid buying a whole new kit. Any suggestions ?

Maybe a body lift. That's all I can think of. 8" BDS lift if you en up getting a new kit. If you do end up with a new kit I'd be interested in your 6"

Buy the coil-overs for the stage 2 kit and stick a 2" leveling kit on top of them.

It's been done a lot. Your current lift has your angles all stock. A 2" level will put them at a little abnormal angle but not real bad where your UCA is hitting your coil or anything like that and it will still be able to easily be aligned. That's the most common form of 8" lift honestly is a 6" coil over with 2" level. That's gonna be your best bang for your buck.

What he said^. Either get the stage two coilovers and use a leveling kit, or get a set of leveling coilovers like the ranchos or bilstein 5100's and set them at the 2" setting and use them with the stage one spacer.
