Questions for those with 4" RC lift
Hi all - I am contemplating doing the Rough Country 4" lift. I see they offer some sort of front strut upgrade for an extra 200 bucks but I am running Bilstein 5100's on all four corners. If I go with the lift should I go with their struts or would the Bilstein be good?
Also I am on Fuel 20x9 wheels with a +20 offset. Would I be better off with these wheels or go back to the factory 20" wheels? What would a good tire size be for no rubbing and little to no trimming?
TIA

The Bilstein's will work just fine, I'd keep them. I have an RC 4" lift on my truck, 2wd and running 35x12.50x18 tires on -12 offset wheels, I did have to trim a little plastic below the front bumper but it's the wheel offset that made me do it, your wheels should be fine.
Now a 4wd sits about 2" higher than my truck so you could easily put 35's on your truck with those wheels and not have any rubbing.
