is there any 6" lift that will accept stock 18" or 20" fx4 wheels????

 

yeah pretty much all of them. wheels got nothin to do with the lift. now if you wanted to run bigger tires and started to get into clearance issues then wheels would be a question.

 

i was told today by a guy at top gun customz that you cannot use the stock wheels because of the steering knuckles on the aftermarket lift....because of the bs of the factory wheels is too big (which is 5.5 i believe) but he didnt say that the 20" wheels would not work...maybe someone knows what the hell is going on!!!

Rancho allows the use of stock wheels. Members here have posted that you can use the OEM wheels with the Pro Comp lift with the stock sized tires.

 

Wandell is correct.

Lift companies specify the wheel width and maximum BS that is recommended for their lifts in their installation manuals. (You can usually find them on the vendor's web site) If you go with a wheel with more BS than they recommend, they will rub on the steering components. It sounds like you got good advice from Top Gunz, unless you are looking at one of the lifts mentioned above.

Fords 17 and 18 inch wheels are 7.5" wide with 5.5" of BS. The 20 inch factory wheels are 8.5" wide with 6.5" of BS, so you will have the same issue with the popular 6" lifts that require much less BS.

Plus, I do not think you will like your truck with a 6" lift with factory offset wheels. They will look very narrow and out of place on the truck. A 9" or 10" wide wheel with 4.5" of BS will look much better.
