Idk but that's basically what. I want to do also. Nobody has done anything with the ready lift it seems. I can get a full kit for $1600 shipped. Nobody makes a true 8" kit. Fts makes a true 10" but it's over $5k

I have two quick comments / questions:
(1) Has anyone confirmed that the 7" Readylift is actually a 7" diff drop? It very well may be, but it's worth confirming. Many lifts don't drop the diff the actual amount of the lift, as long as it keeps the CV / UCA angles "reasonable". I mention it because let's say the diff drop was only 5" (I'm just making that up), going an extra 3" above that to get to 8" could be excessive on your CV angles.
(2) Provided that the diff drop is 7", you may be able to get a different set of Fox coilovers than the ones you mention. I think I see the one's you''re referring to, that indicate they're made for Readylift 4-6" lifts. However, Fox ALSO makes another coilover for 6" lifts that I believe can go even higher without the spacer (at least according to Stage 3 in the link below). So you may be able to get 7" or 8" with this coilover... worth looking into:

This actually sounds like an option👍🏻 Too bad I ordered the 4-6 inch coils instead of the ones you linked. I looked up part numbers and they are definitely different. I may just return mine. Thanks for the info!!

Cool. I'm actually getting those Fox 6" coilovers installed this Thursday to replace my 6" strut spacers (pure coincidence to this thread!). I'll ask the shop how high they could go. I had already asked them when I ordered them to set them up on the lowest level (6") because I like a small amount of rake, but I do believe they can go higher.
