Fx4 lift and wheels

Alright guys I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a 6" lift kit. My two choices are between Bds or Fabtech. I've decided on some 35x12.5 tires and 20x10 -24et wheels. My question is will this wheel/tire combo work with either of these lifts?

Either one will do. Both are good lifts. Bds warranty is pretty awesome... I've seen a Fabtech ran pretty hard with no problems though.

Sweet thanks I'm leaning towards the Bds for that exact reason. My only concern will be the wheel /tire fitment. Fabtech says to use a 325/65R18 18x9 5"BS and BDS says 35" x 12.50" w/17 x 9 and 4-5/8" back spacing. Again I have decided on a 20x10 4.5" BS -24et but need to know if this will work with either kit.

you will have 12mm more clearance than ibf, but his lift is different that yours. he might be able to point you in the right direction though.

according to that you will need 4.5 inches of bs and youve only got 4.05
