Default First Thread Need Help!!!

I just recently got back into the truck world after taking a LONG hiatus from it. My first truck I ever owned was lifted and I LOVED it and it's honestly what brought me back to trucks. I have a 2013 FX4X4 completely stock right now, its grey and I want to do a black rim set up. I like the nitto tires and can get a good deal on them locally. I really want a satin or matte black set of rims, in a sense I want it kind of stealthy because I'm still toying with the idea of repainting the truck matte grey or black. So really what I need now for the first step is what lift fits my needs and my truck. I live in a city but I do frequent my deer lease and the beach, it won't go through serious trials and tribulations but I don't want to worry about something breaking if I go through a stream or a little tide pool. Thinking 4 to 6 inches of lift with maybe 35s? Feed back is key, and if you can think of rims that fit my idea of stealthy, not very loud, please let me know! If I forgot any info that is needed I'll gladly provide it! Thanks in advance guys!

You need to loof at the Fuel Coupler wheel. They would look amazing on your truck. Strength wouldn't be an issue either.

For tires I'd take a look at the Toyo or Nitto. Both of their MTs and ATs are fantastic. Second, lift I would go with a BDS or Zone. I've been doing my research and those seem like the most commonly praised lifts. I heard Rough Country isn't bad either, but the BDS and Zone have full 6" drop.

BDS uses the same bracket lift for their 4 and 6".

I should have edited, what I meant was that I was going by what I've read. What I forgot to put was that you probably have a better idea since you have one haha.

That said, is it the drop bracket or the steering knuckles that are a true 6" and retain stock geometry where the RCX lift is only 5"?
