Question Suggestions for 8" lift

So I have an '06 F150 4x4 supercrew. It's lifted 6 inches with an RCD kit with bilstein 5100 shocks. I would eventually like to lift it about 2 inches higher so I can fit 37's. I'm not trying to do it the cheapest way if it's going to ride terrible or if the front tires will rub. I want it to ride nice on and off road. What would be the best way to do this?

Yeah I looked into that too. The rize appears like it would be the best but also the most expensive route. I'd like to utilize the existing 6" lift.

going off of the 6" lift the most that you could do without swapping lifts is but a 2" body lift on it

Topguncustomz had a thread in the vendor forum, he somehow achieved 8" with the rcx and bilsteins, "with minor adjustments"? They haven't explained what they've done though.

Either lift it another 2 inches with the bilsteins or use a level kit. For the back you can either get a bigger block or use what you have and get a 2in aal
