I think you are going to be on your own over 6". Why do you want 8"

What engine? standerd or super cab? I think your only going be able to find a 6" suspension lift kit for it but i could be wrong but cost wise your looking around $1200-$1500 just for the 6" lift kit.

agreed, an 8" kit will next to impossible to find (if they even exist). if your looking for a nice 6" try rockymountainsusp.com or 4wheelingplus.com, they have good kits for a decent price.
other than that, if your still dead set on an 8", all you can do is research. search it in google and go through the millions of pages that come up


good luck---kevin

Seems as the most cost effective way would be a 6" with a 2" body lift. Is there a real reason for this much lift or do you just need a weiner compensator?

HAHAHAHAHAHA its funny cause its true...stupid mallcrawlers

6" will be easiest to find for sure, anything over that will be hard to find and probably even harder to pay for...if you are deadset on 8" and absolutely cannot sacrifice that 2" of lift and dont regularily beat the **** out of your truck off road you can do a 2" body lift to get you there...but i dont suggest using those, but lets not go there for obvious reasons

why do you really need 8" anyway...6" lift should clear 40" plus tires?
