Also, I think the lift companies are also adding the tires (35s) to get their 6" of total lift. Can anyone shed some light on this?

yes... could someone help out with this? I'm still a bit confused on this whole thing. What are the true lifts of these kits?
I thought the Rancho kit looked as high as the others, but who knows, i am just looking at pics.

What kind of tires and rims are these
