I am almost ready to put a 4" RC lift kit on my '13 XLT. Will my stock 18" wheels work with this kit? I plan on getting Falken 325/65R18's (13" width")

Will my stock shocks and struts work or will I need the ones that I can get with the kit.

Is there anything else I will need or should change and do while I am at it?

Thank you

Those tires are little to wide for stock rims. They recommend 9" wide, which by the way, RC recommends for the 4" lift too. I think stock 18s are only 7 1/2 wide.

I had the 4" RC lift installed a couple of months ago and I was told then my factory 20" wheels wouldn't work without using spacers. Anyway, I was already running a 20x9 wheel so I just got a little bigger tire to fill int he wheel wells. I opted for the their lifted N2.0 struts on the front (adds 200 beans to the price) and they provide the rear shocks. I didn't really care for them and have since put the Bilstein shocks on the rear.

I know factory 20's will work, I think factory 18's will to, ask rough country to be sure. I know factory 17's will not work. Also those tires are too wide for the factory wheels as well

Factory wheels look weird with a 4"+ lift. Upgrade soon after if not at the same time you do the lift. You'll like the better transformation end result.

Wheels and tires, now there's where a guy can go crazy picking out the ones you like most. LOL. Not to mention, with a 4" lift, you should really swap out stock gears to make up for the bigger tires. I was going to do a 4" BDS but I just couldn't bring myself to cut my frame. Tonight Santa gave me the go ahead to order Bilsteins from Stage 3. Already got confirmation #. I'm going to run my stock 18s with Ridge Grappler 275/70s on them.

Here is my 2013 Platinum with a 4inch RC on 20’s and 35x12.50x20

very little rub, depends on the terrain

Aspurlock-

To me, that looks like the perfect set-up. I have a 2013 King Ranch EB that has only been front leveled as far as suspension mods. My son will be inheriting this truck and all he can talk about is “lifting it and better wheels and tires”. I just dont see many KRs around that have had this done - but your Platinum looks great and I could see myself doing exact same setup for him - but trying to find a wheel that may better compliment my white/tan colors. Does anyone know and forum members who have done this to a KR? Or perhaps and photos? Finally, I am in DFW area and wondering if anyone knows of anyone reputable to help me with this modification and knows any additional suspension related parts that would be needed - not oversold. Again, very nicely done Aspurlock. Too many look over the top to me. Thanks for any advice from anyone!
