But to be safe I'd stick to the recommendation... It's cost effective.. My rim and tires are about a year old.. No way am I gonna by something else for it to fit..
Yeah I am trying to use what i have too but i also want to be happy with what i have and not regret something. Well thank you very much for the information. I appreciate it.

Oh and the other member on here with the 2008 king ranch with the 6" skyjacker lift told me he has 1.5" wheel spacers so the tires dont rub the upper control arm when he turns. So it looks like I could possibly use my 5.5" wheels since his rubbed with 6.1" but i dont know. Back to square one and more researching.

Will do... Hopefully nothing is missing...

Ah yeah... That, but i'm not trying to run wheel spacers at all... I'd go with the Rancho... It averages out to 5.5" of lift ruffly... If you want 6" then throw on a 2" level kit... There is a guy on here with a grey FX4 running that setup...
My tire combo was $3600... They can't be easily replaced.. Once that lift is on either you take it back off our you buy new rims..
