i am thinking this guys, let me know what you think.

I think i am going to keep the 2.5 in leveling kit in and add the 4inch rancho kit and add a 3 inch block to the back, to keep the truck level. Keep my moto metal 951 18in rims with +30 offset with 6.18bs and got with a 35in tire (looking at the trail grapplers if they fit)

I think leveling kits on top of lifts and stacking blocks is a recipe for future problems.

Rancho uses a new strut IIRC, but it'd drop down to a 2" leveling kit on top. for the rear go with one single block, stacking blocks isn't the best route to go and if your already buying a larger block you might as well buy one big one instead of a small one to stack.

BUT, if you want 6" of lift go with a 6" kit. then later on you have the option to go bigger easily.

sounds like the easier thing to do.

~4.5" backspacing (what most lift manufacturers suggest). offset and backspacing are directly related with each other. you will want negative offset though. just look up a offset to backspacing converter and you can figure it out based off the wheel.

you should be able to get the same wheel with with less backspacing if you like the rims you have
