Honestly I am very against body lifts. If you want an extra 2 inches,I'd throw a two inch leveling kit on top of your other lift. Just my opinion.

An honestly I'm not quite sure if you can fit 38's on with just 8" of lift. Maybe with some trimming. I've got a 9" lift and 37 mud grapplers.

Look and seen if you can track down a rize 8inch lift for that truck.

If you want 8" of lift get an 8" lift kit. I wouldn't get a body lift or a spacer to make up the difference. And I'm skeptical like Tyler about squeezing 38's under 8 inches of lift.

Get a BDS or Rize, they both make 8" lifts or get a 6" with coil overs and crank them up. 38s will be a tight fit, maybe a 38x13.5 with the right wheel.

No problems here except I will be replacing the ball joints in about 6 to 8 months. But that will make about 70k-80k miles on the current ones so I'm happy. $900 for uppers and lowers is what I was quoted including labor.

The 37's make the truck sluggish but that's fixable by changing the gears which I have not.
