I have a 2017 1500 with a 4” lift with 35’s on 20x12.5. I’m having a very hard time finding a shop to do a 8” lift. I’m realizing that a 6” lift is very common but it doesn’t make sense to spend the money for just 2” more. Any advice? I’ve read a 6” lift plus a 3” body lift. Is that a thing?

This is the only company I've seen offer over 10" of suspension lift. I realize the link is for the all new 2019 but I believe they make it for the 13-18 1500 also.

Would a Zone or BDS 6" with Bilsteins @2.8 work (leaving out the pre-load spacer that comes with the lift kit)? It would probably get you close to 8" of lift.

I went eibach set at 3.5 then the zone top hat spacer that came with the 6” lift. It was high. Math says 8.5” inches. But that is about the Highest you can go with out custom fabrication. I had to add an inch and a half spacer to my 5” rear coil springs. I was taller than guys with 6” lifts and 3” body lifts. Speaking from experience you don’t want to be anywhere near 8”. I Lowered mine back down as did @JB1
