Hey all, i know ive seen a lot of posts on here talking about Rize Industries lift, i also know that their company is no longer around. I recently purchased an 08 fx4 f150, with a 6in rize lift kit installed, i recently went to get an alignment, and they pointed out to me that my bushings at the bottom of the rize strut extender links, where they attach to the lower control arms, are shot. Ive been searching for hours now to no avail, so ive turned to yall.

Has anybody been able to find rize replacement parts anywhere online? Or another company that would make compatable bushings? I dont want to have to lose this lift kit over some bushings so any help is highly appreciated. The guy at the shop said maybe energy suspension may have something that works, but its a matter of tearing everything down to figure out exact sizes. Thanks everyone.

Really hoping someone else on here has ran into these issues with their rize kit, and found a solution. Ive been searching since 8am this morning with still no luck.

You will more than likely have to take the strut loose and do some measuring to see what size bushings you need. I'm guessing they should be a 2 piece urethane with a steel pin in the middle. If not you may have to change over to a 2 piece. Once you get the measurements call Summit Racing and see if they have something for you.

Thanks for replying man, i was thinking that too, im just worried about the down time of having the truck apart, because im sure when i disassemble it, whats left of the bushing is going to fall apart. And i need it for work sadly, but i just had another option come up, im just a little weary to try it.

I searched for hours, and finally found the most recent contact info for the old CEO of Rize. I contacted him asking for specs and he instantly knew what bushing i was talking about. He claims he can get me both bushings, 1 set for each side, for 69 shipped. But after reading all the reviews for rize the past few years, im not too sure if hes going to take my money, or if he actually has access to those bushings.

Sounds like 1 way or another you will have to take your chances. Best of luck.

Were you ever able to get those bushings? I'm currently in the same situation and any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you

Not yet sadly. Had a lot come up and not enough time. I will be getting my truck into the shop though soon and when I do I'll let you know what I come up against. The best advice I got was just taking it apart and measuring the bushings and it's almost guaranteed that Energy Suspension will have something comparable in size.

I also managed to track down the original owners of Rize Industries and he said he can mail me a replacement for I think it was 68$ shipped. But I was a little weary due to the fact that the company went under and started having really bad reviews of scamming at the end so I'm skeptical.

Why not just buy new full length shocks? I screwed up and didn't. You can find them on amazon.

Sadly it's not the bushings for the strut itself, it's on the strut extender.

Any luck? I wonder if the owner you tracked down that says he has parts accepts paypal. If he does we can risk it and if he don't ship the parts we can always get our money back from pay pal. If you still got his info would you mind sharing? Thanks
