Wait, so you want a 6" lift, and not an 8"? Now I'm really confused...

The dealership contracts through 4wheel parts to do their lifts and they gave me a $7000 limit. So I went to 4wheel parts and just picked out what I wanted. With the wheels, tires, lift, and labor, I used every bit of the allowance too!
Interesting... Where ever I go to find a Rize lift kit, the kit normally only says front, so I assumed you just decided on what the back will be. Also, I didn't know 4wheelparts had the Rize lift kit? What year truck do you have? How long ago was this, and was it at a certain 4wheelparts (San Diego, CA, where Rize is from)? Sorry, for all of the questions, I just would like to know. Oh, and could you post a pic, or two of your truck, please?

Yep, youll just want to get 37's. 35's wont look awful but there will def be space between the tires and fenders. Itll just be the next thing to save up for. haha. It is a never ending list.

Yea and 37's would be oh so nice! Only thing is my 35's are brand new and I know I could find a buyer for them. But if I got a 8" lift on 37's then I would def need gears and that's another 2k. I drive this truck alot! How would fuel and the ride be with that big of a beast?!

I got mine done at the 4wheel parts in Fresno, CA. I'm not sure if they are still dealing with Rize anymore though. When I had mine done, 4wheel parts had a tough time actually getting the kit from Rize. The owner of Rize kept beating around the bush, but it was actually during their move from San Diego to El Cajon. So it may have been somewhat of a cluster. But I remember talking to the Rep from 4wheel parts that was handling my order personally, and I think he said that my lift was the last one they were getting from Rize because they have had issues like this before. You could call and ask though. This was during the months of January and February of 2011. In my profile I have a few picks of the lift itself from different points of view.

I am still running 35's with my 8" lift. It looks fine with 35's. Would I like 37's.... yes of course. But I have decided that I would only be able to afford 35's every other year. Look at the pics in my profile. The 35's don't look bad at all.

Oh, I just expected you would be getting the right size tire to fill out the wheel well, but yeah 35's do kind of look funny. Here's mine (6" Pro-comp w/ 2" level in front, and 8" rear leaf springs, +35's);Name:  IMG1072.jpg

I could definitely use 37's, but my 35's don't look as bad as want some people would think. Unless your part of that "some people," haha. Though I can't fit 37's with this setup (in front), because they would rub the back of my front wheel well. That is why I am looking for a "true" 8" suspension lift kit for my front. If I don't do that then I will have to cut into my front wheel well, and well, that's not settling with me at the moment.

Would you mind posting a picture of your truck, and letting us know where you got your Rize lift kit, please?

PS: I think this is now the official Rize Industries lift kit thread, haha, but seriously...

Oh, okay. The CA thing makes sense, but I still don't get the date part. I purchased my lift from 4wheelparts in December 2010, but I never saw the Rize lift from them. It doesn't matter now, but I find the whole thing interesting still.
