Default Lift question!

Looking to get a 6" RCX lift this summer if my funds are available. I would like to make it 8" though without buying the 8" Rize or BDS kit. Options available?

Thanks in advance!

I figured that was probably the only way. Haven't really been able to find much.

I did Fabtech 6" lift with hellbent steel 2" in front and AAL 2" in rear for 8" no issues yet. Even went off roading.

Do you plan on keeping it in a garage? a 8" lift won't fit in a standard garage. My 6" with 35's barely fits.

Really don't need 8 inch unless your going with 37's...then you really need to re-gear $$$

There's a huge price difference between 6 and 8. Yes the extra 2 inches separates you from everybody else and yes it is quite noticeable. However, 8" cost more, 37's cost more, and if you don't regear, you're going to cost more in the long run, and regearing costs alot.

Well if things end up working out, I'm was planning on getting some 20x12 wheels on 35s. And I've been told that 35s don't look bad with an 8. No I don't plan on keeping it in a garage so I'll be fine.
