Well, it is heart-breaking, but I found a guy that is selling a used Rize 8" lift kit (In California), and I also found another website that is selling the lift kit new. The used 8" lift kit comes with a custom driveshaft (or at least that's what the guy said), for $2,200 shipped (or it might have been $2,300). Anyways, I'm going to call this guy back, and see if he still has it then I am going to have my 4WD shop talk to him to make sure all of the parts are there. Although, if the company that is selling the lift kit new is legit then I might buy from them, because it's only $2,900 on their website, but without shipping. Here's the link; http://exaltmotorsports.com/c-65984-...uspension.html (they have three different kits, but I can only see a difference in two of them).

Get the one for $2913.00...it includes the brake line kit which you need anyways. That seems to be the difference between the one for $2839. Hopefully they turn out to be a legit company so you can get one.

I was just talking about the website part of your last post. If the guy selling the used one has the correct driveshaft and all the nuts and bolts and the kits in decent shape then you might as well get the used one. I dont know how necessary the driveshaft is but that cant be cheap to get a new one. That might make or break the decision right there.

So i was looking on BDS site and it said with the 8" you can fit 37s on a 17x9 wheel with 4-5/8" backspace which is what i currently am running. So once i get back from deployment in february prepare yourselves lol

I went back on their website, but they don't have a phone number to contact them by? However, now I know the difference between the kits (thank you). I am going to have my shop call the guy with the used lift kit, and run through the list of parts to make sure everything is there. After that then I will see.

Sounds like a plan. If that is the right size then it will work perfectly for you. BTW, check out their dual-steering stabilizers, and traction bars too.
