Question Level, Lift, Offset, Backspace, Rubbing... I need a shop!

First time truck owner. I have been reading so much about levels and lifts and then wheels and tires. I think I know enough now to go and ask questions that make sense.

But where??? Can anyone recommend a place where they do this kind of work in South Florida, Broward or Dade counties???

I want to start with a 2-2.5 level and then go from there to a 20inch blackish/matte wheel. For the tire I think I want something in the AT area but not sure about brands/sizes I could fit and impact on MPG... need to understand that better.

Thanks.

I dont know of any shops in S Florida but I'm sure there are plenty. I ended up getting the Fox 2.0 system, front coilovers and rear shocks. The coilovers actually raised the front higher than the rear so ended up swapping the rear block with a 3". Now the rear is exactly 1" higher. I have two sets of wheels/tires and neither ones rubs anywhere. I didnt need to trim anything or remove the crash bars. Primary setup is 20x9 +18 XD Series w/ 305/55/20 Toyo RT's. They are 33.5" tall and 12.3" wide. My other wheels are 2018 Raptor beadlocks with the stock BFG AT KO II's 315/70/17 (35x12.50x17)

You can always try your local 4 Wheel Parts store. While you may not get the personalized attention you might get at a custom shop, they should be able to happily answer all your questions so you'll know exactly what you need / want.

There's one here:
