    Today I purchased the KING LIFT KIT through @ToyTec Lifts

    I am going to mount 18x9 -12offset Fuel Assaults on 285/65/18 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs.

    I also purchased a Hypertech speedomer calibrator. Does this also calibrate the odometer? I would assume yes...
    20180314_160906.jpg

    Is there anything else I need?

    I originally considered 20" but to me, they look better in 18" with more sidewall. If the wheels were chrome, or If I went with larger tires, I would consider 20"

    I was planing on going with icon or fox but if im being honest when the hell am i going to get the spaner wrench and change the height of the suspension. For half the money these kits are going for im leaning towards Bilstein 6112/5126 combo with a good UCA and AAL I dont think its worth the money to get something as hard core as the king. Dont get me wrong if money is not issue i would get the best of the best or if i was buildidng a dessert buggy, but for majority of the offroading available to me up here i wont see a day where this Bilstein combo wont work.

    20180224_164332.jpg did a very similar setup to my truck! I would also highly recommnd just a small diff drop kit with it so you don' have so much cv angle.

    Yeah, you actually helped me in another thread. The kit includes Front Differential Drop Kit (TAC-DR-05)
    What size wheels and tires? Do you know the offset?

    I wanted to mount 18x9 with either +1mm or -12mm offset wheels on 285/65/18 tires.
    I've read the +1mm offset is better for the tire and suspension and related parts. But the +1mm will have just over 5" off back space which I've been told 4.5" of back space is the max.

    Thanks

    Oh looks like it has everything you need then!! But I am running 285/70/17 with -12 offset. Gives me 4.5 backspacing.

    Any known issues with the -12mm back spacing?
    Also did you have any rubbing or have to do the CMC (Cab Mount Chop)

    Thanks

    No CMC. And the only time I ever felt rubbing was on a skii trip with 5 guys and bed loaded full of gear paired with a bump in the road. Other than that no issues even and full wheel turn in reverse.
