i want to lift my 07 fx4 8" and want to know which of these two options would be the best way. i can get the fabtech 6" for 1500 and then stack a 2" leveling spacer on top for about 120. the cheapest i have found the rize 8" is about 2500 (if anyone else has seen it cheaper please tell me where). but my question is if i go the fabtech way i know i will be changing the angle of the cv's and possibly stressing things like ball joints. if anyone is running that set up have you had any problems so far? i would rather spend a lil more on a lift now and get a true 8" and keep all the angles safe to avoid constantly wearing out ball joints just to save some money right now. any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Save your money and do it right rize it up

 

I agree, if you really want the Rize then save your money and go that way. I have been saving for several months to get mine (only a 6" Fabtech) along with new wheels & tires. I had enough saved and then decided I wanted to do a steering stabilizer at the same time, so gotta save a little more now. Better to save up and do it right the first time then live with regret because you wanted to get it done sooner rather than later.

 

GO with the Rize. Most poeple who add spacers only do it b/c the tires they bought have rubbing issues. But since you already want a full 8" lift go with the rize. Are you could just wait for the 12" rize and be the Chit.
