whats the width of the tires you want to run ?

Most i would run is 5.71 bs. you dont want the rims to be too tucked in or it wont look right.

personally i would run anywhere inbetween 4.5"-5.25" bs.

I believe it's 4.5 if I recall right. To be 100% positive just call Rough Country themselves and they will tell you.

Howdy neighbor.
This is what their instructions say:

This suspension system was developed using a 35X12.50/17, tire with factory wheels. The lift was designed to lift the
front 6” and the rear 5-5 1/2” to level the vehicle. Due to manufacturing, dimension variances, and inflation all tire and
wheel combinations should be tested prior to installation on all oversized / wider then stock tires We recommend a
wheel not exceeding 8" in width be used with a minimum backspacing of 4.5" to a maximum of 5".

Howdy to you too, neighbor! So what this is saying is that you could technically run your rough country 6" lift with stock rims. However, I do not plan on using my stock 20" wheels. But what I understand from this is that i would be ok to use a 8.5" wide 18" wheel with 5.71 inches of backspacing. Those are the specs of the wheels im planning on ordering. And 35" Toyo MTs. The thing that i was worried about is that maybe the rim or the tire sidewall would contact the knuckle.

4.5-5" is what RCX recommends (for a 18" wheel)
