I am building 8" Liteform with 2" EPS inside and out....what size should i make my jambs?  Are you guys making them yoursleves or modify a store bought set up?

Thanks.

Depends on the door. I got a steel double door with a 11" jamb size at HD for a slight upcharge. the sill plate was not a full 11" but seems to work ok. I am awaiting a price on a therma-tru entry door with a 11" jamb and sill.......we'll see.

Why not ask, if you can get what you need for a reasonable price why not. If they want to charge a crazy amount, let the carpenter do it.

If you have 8" wall with 4" of foam, you will need a full 12" of jamb. That might be tough to come by. Mine is a 6" core with 5" of foam so 11" is good for me.

Thanks for the responses guys...kind of what i figured, let the carpenter finish out the sub-jamb assembly.  Problem with that is, i am the "carpenter", and electrician, mason, plumber, ect.   I have a chance now to premake the jambs before i head to the 9500 ft building site...i would like to do as much ahead of time as possibe.
