Ah ok. Thanks again for the quick reply. I knew something had to be differnt since they had that kit at $1088, and another kit at $2200. Again, you are the man Wandell!

Alright Wandell, I did a lot of searches today and saw all the negative reports and issues that the leveling kits and skyjacker 3" kit causes. From the 2.5" spacers rubbing the coil springs, to the extreme angles on the 3" skyjacker. So I figure I'll go ahead and send back the skyjacker kit, and then buy the basic pro comp kit. So it maybe a month or so before purchasing due to the fact it's winter here, and I don't want to run 20's in the winter. But I have new questions now.

With the 6" kit do I still get the 20x9 moto metal wheels with the 6.18" of backspacing? Or do would the 20x10 wheels with 4.75" of backspacing work?

The tire size also changes with the 6", the new plan is to run 35 mud grapplers rather then 33's. I am only asking about the wheels so that I know the backspacing won't cause any rubbing issues. I would like to use the 20x9's as long as they don't rub on the suspension.

I think you made the best decision. I would stay with the 20x9's and 6 inches of backspacing as long as the Pro Comp kits says that is ok. Some kits require a specic minimum backspacing so the wheel/tire doesn't hit the lift kits new knuckles. I know all this gets complicated especially when you are trying to get a wheel that will keep the tires tucked in and still not rub. I'd suggest looking at Pro Comp's website and see if they mention anything about backspacing requirements with their kits. I wouldn't suggest calling 4Wheel Parts because they are famous for giving misinformation. I'd talk to Pro Comp directly. Maybe some of the members here with Pro Comp kits can answer
