how do they lift it so high?

i know rize makes a 12" kit and kelderman makes a 14" but once u got over 6 or 8" kits get CRAZY EXPENSIVE. i know the kelderman (all air ride) for a 6" is like 4-5k. the way a lot of ppl do it is by installing a custom 4 link and some HUGE shocks. im with you on liking the way they look but i dont see how ppl drive them. i drove a truck with a 12" rize kit on it and that thing felt like it wanted to flip over with every semi hard turn

I read in one of the truck mags about a Kelderman 18" system with bags, I'd hate to see the price. A friend of mine in VA put a 1-ton up like that. He custom built everything over 6 months, and used 2 1/2 ton Rockwells. Total cost was over 15K and it wasn't even painted. Here's a vid, it's like Frankenstein.

first off how high do u want to go, alot of those trucks that you see on youtube that are wickid tall are usually subframed wits custome arched leaf springs or subframed with 4-link and big *** coil over shocks and thats BIG money, once they get that high u can kiss driving that bad boy on the road, a buddy of mine jus got rid of a 04 6.0 with 15 inch arched leaf spprings on 44 inch tsl ss that was his daily driver, another friend has a 07 f250 on a 18inch rize lift (which was $20,000 btw) on 46inch tires, truck lookes great but good for nothing.

im gonna have to agree with big red on this one
if you still want to do it after hearing all this then
talk to the guys at southern kustoms they do great work
here is a truck done by them
here is one on tractor tires that actually breifly shows all the underbody custom fromework and gearing diffwork and drivetrain work that needs to be done
