First off, thank you for your service to our country!

Now, the lift kit doesn't usually affect how far your tires stick out, that is all tire width and rim backspace. With the +30 you are at the factory offset, the only way to change it now would be new rims or wider tires. I guess you could look at spacers, but I have always bought to have them tucked in as much as possible. I have +18 rims and if you look at the album in my profile you can see how they stick out (just slightly). As far as the lift kit is concerned, read the install instructions for RC and PC not much difference between the two, with the major exception being you get the brace in front on the PC that goes straight across vs conforming up into the factory setup like the RC does. The RC just looks cleaner to me. I did a lot of research on these kits and although I can't say one is better than the other, it seems a lot of people will recommend you not to get the RC just because. ??? When I was considering it, everyone that I found on here that has an RC likes them. Good luck in your decision.
Come home, and be safe over there.
