Lately I had been thinking of going and getting the basic Pro Comp spacer 6" lift, but the new MM951's I bought (18x9, 5.78" BS) I think won't fit properly, from what I've read.
I have a 6" ProComp lift. I tried to use 315/70R17's on wheels w/ a 6.25" BS and the front tires made contact with the steering knuckle before the lug nuts were tight.

I ended up using 35x12.50 BFG MT's on wheels w/ a 4.5" BS and I have more than 1" clearance between the tire sidewall and the steering knuckle.

Anything else I can't really confirm, but personally I wouldn't run a wheel with more backspace than 5.25".

Also, in reference to the quality of the ProComp lift. I won't argue that I do believe that the RCD and Fabtech kits are slightly better as far as quality and construction goes.

That said... as I mentioned I do have a ProComp lift and I have beat the hell out of the truck off road. I've ran the truck across chopped dunes at 80+ MPH and have had the front tires off the ground on several occasions. All the bracketry has held up just fine. I would definitely recommend ProComp and for the money you can't beat it. I installed this kit myself and it went on without any problems.
