Thanks! I figured it would be necessary but I wasn't sure.

So what offset wheels do you need to clear 35s with this RC kit? Thinking 18x9 wheels just need to figure out an offset so I wont need to trim my fenders

Good question. All i know is the gentleman who installed my kit said "with a zero offset, I can put 34 1/2 inch tires on your truck with minimal trimming." So I guess you definitely need some offset, but maybe just a small amount.

I'm adding 35x12.5 Toyo Open Country MT's with 18x9 Centerline Wilderness Scout wheels here in a bit.

Rides real similar to stock.
Finally got my wheels and tires. 18x9 Centerline Scout Wilderness wheels (+6 offset with 5.25 bs) and 35x12.5x18 Toyo Open Country MT's. Trimming of the front lower valance is necessary with the 2.5" RCX leveling kit. I'll post more about that after this weekend probably.

Here is a quick picture or two.

I'll have the center caps on tomorrow too.

DUDE!!!! Now THAT'S what I'm talking about. Thats the look i have in my head for my F150, but w/ black(ish) wheels. Its a light tan color so Im going for the sandy, baja feel (getting rid of the chrome slowly lol). Thanks for these man, looks effing great. Later can you throw in a pic looking down the side? Getting a feel for tire width and offset and what they look like. Again, thanks for these.

Got this kit today for Xmas. Seems most are installed on 4x4. How's it working for those with 4x2? Is it pretty much level or do I need to get bigger blocks for the back? Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

I'll still take any Input on this kit tho! Thanks!

morning! Actually, after the lift I still have .5" rake left in the front. Looks great imo but it's not exactly level. It eliminated the 2" rake that was present before the lift. Hope that helps
