I honestly don't know what the offset stuff means. If there is a better lift, with good shocks and a good ride for about 1500 other than the RCX I will consider it. But I like the price of the rough country just don't know if it will be stiff and stuff like that. $1500 for the lift only. I will only be on the road so would the RcX be good enough? What wheel size would be best for me? I have no idea why I need a certain wheel size I guess the 20x? Or 18x? No idea

Probably plan to get the tires first. Not sure yet. But I have a leveling kit, what do I need for the 35 inch mud tires to fit? What size wheel and off set?

You can run 35's with stock wheels and a level kit...

If I buy the rough country 6 inch lift with 35x12.50 mud tires with 20x10 wheels. Do I need to worry about anything else? If I buy these three items, do I need to buy anything else dealing with the back spacing or off set? Or is that how you install it? Is everything going to fit and not rub?

I would go with a 9" wide wheel over a 10".


All in all, yes, you will be pretty much set with that set up.

So I can do either 20x9 or 18x9 which would you prefer? Where is the best place to buy tires? If I just buy the tires, could I just throw the stock wheels on the tires until I get better rims? I just have to match the rim size of the current rim

You need to ask RCX what off set and back spacing of your wheels can be with there lift... and if you are planning to buy Nitto trail Grapples 35/12.50/20 they actually measure 13.39 wide...so you may have problems rubbing your UCA...

I may be wrong but I don't think there are any 35" and up MTs that aren't LT rated. The LT rated tires are going to kill ride quality much more so than any brand of suspension lift. I went from 285/65 Trail Graps to 35x12.50 and the ride is noticeably rougher. My truck rides better after the lift but it's likely due to the Rancho 9000s replacing the factory junk.

ETA-- I didn't add that wal- mart "tire" link. Don't know why or how that's there.
