8 inch lift question?

Do any of you guys with 8 inch lifts regret going so high?

Do any of you pull a trailer with it?

How much did it cost to get new driveshafts redone?

In the end is it worth it?

I was thinking of an 8" with 37's if I could get away with it I might do a 6" instead if I can still fit the 37's without rubbing. This is for a 2004 V10.

You should go with an 8". Looks better and after a while the 8" lift kit will feel small.

It will cost about $50-100 to have the drive shaft lengthen.

If you want 37's, go with the 8" lift. I run a 6" Skyjacker on mine with 36's and do get a little rub (on the fender liner) when I stuff the tires in a turn.

8" will clear them, no problem.
