Still undecided man. I honestly still want to go with the rize lift. My reason is I believe I need 11.5-12" of lift to fit 37's with a 14 wide wheel. Well from my understanding their 8" lift is really closer to 9" so with coilovers I can probably get 11.5". I really do not want to do a bodylift.

I understand man, have you considered looking into a custom coilover set up instead of a bolt-on kit? I know it would be a little on the pricey side but you'd be able to achieve the height you're looking for.

Well I know you're in San Antonio but you've got a few shops in the Greater Houston area that can do amazing things like that.

Extreme Offroad in Katy, Full Flex Customs, Maxxed Performance and AllOutOffroad.

Maxxed Performance did HTXFX4s set up and he clears a big wheel/tire package

Sorry I just reread your post. I have a set of King coilovers already that were built for a rize lift. Remember I had that rize lift but I would of had to buy additional pieces to make it fit due to the electronic steering (would fit a 09-10 no problem). So I'm hoping these coilovers will be the right length.

Ohhhhhh, touché sir. I'd go Rize then.

Part of me wants to get an 8" kit too, instead of buying Coilovers (700) UCAs (700) Add-a-leafs (200) and the work that would go into it.

Lol you sound like me breaking it all down. Bodylift kit and then install I might as well go for the rize and go full suspension like I originally wanted. Plus I like the idea of not many running a rize.

How are the headlights coming along?

Yeah man, I've never seen a Rize kit anywhere near me. I like their kits a lot too.

They're coming man, just been busy as hell at work, out of town for work for a week, then Las Vegas last week. Hoping to finish them Saturday.

Got mine going in on the 27th to get that rize put on! Thanks to the gentleman above! You may try black Jack, they sell and install the 12" bullet proof kit for the F150.
