I get my lift installed Thursday. I bought from 4 Wheel Parts and got the lift and 4 RS9000XL shocks and they quoted me me $1704 for all of it. Still get the $400 rebate also.

I'm going to do some more calling around tomorrow to try to locate some Mavericks. One retailer said the +14mm weren't even out yet and with the +20mm there were only 57 of them arriving in the country on Tuesday or something. I only had a chance to call a couple online retailers though so we'll see.
If that doesn't work out, I may try to get some Novakanes with the 0 offset bc I def don't think I want to go with the negative offset.

I had seen several people mention pcsautomotive on ebay taking offers of $1875 shipped by just invoicing through paypal in the past. So I tried to email them through ebay about that, but the message got flagged by ebay haha.
So just curious, I searched to see if they had an online store and they do (http://www.pcscustom.com/searchresults.asp?cat=3725). The price there is $1674.23 + $90 shipping = $1764.23. I called this afternoon and they checked with Rancho for availability and it is available to ship within 24 hrs and would take 3-5 business days. I should have it by next Wednesday at the latest. So after the $400 rebate, it'll be $1364.23

Also a note on the installation. I called all the offroad shops around here and one place wanted $1040 just to install/align, another wanted $800. Then there's a small place that does ONLY lifts and they want $495+65 for alignment. And then my tire shop wants $80 an hour based on the highest of the installation recommended time. He said typically kits are 8-10 hrs so he would want $800. Well I read the instructions and it says 5-6 hours, so I called Rancho to confirm. They confirmed that it is only a 5-6 hour recommended installation time which would bring my tire shop labor down to $480 (prob will have to pay to align it too) if they'll even actually do it for that cheap lol.
What are others seeing for install costs?

I bought my truck with a 3" level in the front and stacked blocks in the rear. It LOOKS good, but the angles are horrible and wheel travel horrible/non-existent. Also running 295/70/18 Nitto Trail Grapplers on stock FX4 18s.
Anyway, I've been wanting to get a 4" lift to rid my truck of this level and fix the other issues. Rancho has their annual rebate deal going on so I'm pretty much set on getting their kit with the RS9000XL adjustable shocks.
Now, based on looking at lots of pictures of every 4" truck I could find, I decided I wanted to step up to a slightly taller tire. I considered Nitto or Toyo 35/12.50s, but don't like that they are actually 13.39" wide (I like taller, rather than wider on this size lift/tires). I think I've decided on the 295/65/20 Nitto Trail Grappler which comes in at 35.47" x 12.13" (.9" taller and .4" wider than what I have).
For wheels I want to get the black with machined Fuel Mavericks. These are one of my favorite wheels out right now and aren't played out like many of the other wheels I like. In the 20s, they come in +1, +14, and +20 offset. I only want them to stick out from the fenders maybe an inch, so I'm thinking the +20 would be the best bet.
The wheel/tire size comparer says the +20 will be .9" wider than what I have now, but also doesn't factor in the fact that these tires are .4" wider even though same 295 designation. The +14 offset would be 1.2" wider than what I have now not including the .4" width of the tire. What do yall think would be the best offset to meet what I've described?
Any help is appreciated!!!
Here's a pic of what the Fuel builder would look like with these wheels:
