    Ah...I see that now. So what would you recommend in order to add height to the truck? Cranking the front coilovers? What about the rear?

    Ultimately I would like to be in the neighborhood of 10-11" of total lift excluding added height from tires.

    I think you may want to go with a Rize susp lift. If I'm not mistaking they make some 8" 12" for your year model truck....

    Ya, getting a rize lift would ride better than stacking everything.

    To my knowledge Rize only makes a 8 inch kit in which they only sold three of since 2009. They didn't stock any as they built them according to customer request. Since they have sold such a small amount of them they aren't making any more. The last one is being made right now and will ship to its new owner in a short while. This customer has been waiting a ridiculous time for the kit which leads me and many others to believe that Rize will in the midst of the current economy go under. With that said I'm looking for some alternatives.

    Here's what I've figured so far. A company by the name of One Up Off-road makes traction bars that can be ordered in the sizes of 4-10" so no stacking required. I'll just get the 10" ones and call it a day. I'm not sure if the Pro Comp MX6 rear shocks that I have will still suffice though. If not then I can look to King Off-road to replace those. My concearn is raising the front.

    Just put the body lift on and be done with it. It will fit 37's just fine. I ran a 2.5" level and 35's On my 05 F150 so with 9" of lift you'll be golden :birgits_tiredcoffee
