I just bought an '07 F-150 with exact same wheels and tires and 8" BDS. The tires would not clear so they had put in a 2.5" spacer in the front which screwed up the geometry and wore out the half shafts. I removed the spacers and added a 3" Performance Accessories body lift. It still rubs at times at full articulation but no body panels have been modified.

I would personally go with BDS just from more experience with them with friends I know having BDS lifted trucks but I will say that RIZE seems to be perfectly good as well. I'd say ask around to anybody you know that has lifts and see what they have, how they like it, and see if you can drive it to see if you like the feel.

Would the RIZE 8" Lift "PERFORMANCE SYSTEM" be worth the money, or sould I just buy RIZE 8" Front Lift System and buy the brake lines and the coilovers and reservoir shocks and Add-a-leaf?

Also if I were to buy the RIZE 8" Lift "PERFORMANCE SYSTEM", would I need to upgrade reservoir shock or anything like that, because I think it comes with Rize 2.5 reservoir shocks but I dont know with they good?
