OK, I just found out last night that my wife had an outstanding interview yesterday and that she may be able to start her new job next monday. So as soon as they call her to tell her that she has the position, I am able to blow my wad per se on my truck. Now that I am getting closer and closer to accomplishing my new found goal I am getting more and more nervous to what I need to get and wanting to make sure I get the right stuff. Since most dealers in my area are all about the money they will tell me BS just to make the sale. So I am hoping and depending on all members of this great website to guide me in the right direction. BTW if you all have not noticed I talk alot......it comes with writing a lot of traffic accident reports. I have come to the conclusion that I will get these tires. Pro-Comp X-Terrain 35/13.50 R20. Since I do have 2 vehicles, I wont be driving my truck everyday and everynight so if I could get a good 10K miles from these tires I would be happy. Since 10K miles for me would take probably 1.5 years or more. I was looking at the Rockstar wheels but they do not come in the lug pattern I need. I believe that the pattern for my truck is 6x135mm. Can anyone clarify a little on that? Also what is the backspacing for and do I need to take that into consideration when purchasing a wheel? As mentioned above I may be ordering these parts by the end of the week so if anyone is able to read this huge post, please take a minute or two to assist me in the development of my truck. Currently I have about 7.5K to spend on the project and I have heard that a 6" fabtech suspension lift will come close to 2.5K. Thanks everyone.....and I hope your eyes dont hurt.

The lift cost really depends on what you go with. I sent you a PM with my cost, but I have the basic kit, if you go with the coilovers then it's going to cost you more. I think you'll get more out of the tires than 10k, I've had mine on there for about 6k miles and they're nowhere near done, they still look brand new.
I think for $7.5k you're going to have a pretty awesome looking truck when it's done.
