Floating Traction Bars

While a majority of traction bars feature fixed mounts which often cause a bind in the rear suspension, Rize designed their system so that it would not only eliminate axle wrap, but allow the suspension to fully cycle without binding. This combination is accomplished through their heavy duty shackle mount at the frame. This feature keeps the rear end on the ground, while allowing full articulation when used off road.




Dual Steering Stabilizer Kit

Rize Industries developed a heavy duty dual steering stabilizer setup, which relocates the stabilizers in front of the factory tie rod. This combination along with dual nitrogen charged shocks, minimizes feedback felt through the steering wheel and aids in vehicle tracking, when oversized tires are used.




Driveshaft’s Unlimited One Piece Rear Drive Shaft

Replacing the factory two-piece system, an extended one piece drive shaft from Driveshaft’s Unlimited is recommended. A serviceable Constant Velocity (CV) joint, is built into the one piece shaft which in combination with the proper pinion angle, eliminates all driveline vibrations, and the need for a carrier bearing.




Toyo Tires

For such large suspension lift systems, we recommend the 40" Toyo MT tire. The Toyo MT's are known for being true by design, providing excellent off road handling and traction, while also providing a smooth quiet ride and excellent wear.
