The wheels i got got noe 18x9 and almost factory back spacing. And i plan on running like a toyo mt or a micky thompson mtz or just go back to grapplers like i have now. Well i've already got bigger keys and my ride isnt that bad so i think im just going to stick with the 6 inch cut some if i even have too.

Agreed, I am in the same boat and if you are looking to lift 6" plan on spending about 5k with new rims and tires, shocks and the lift. You can get the same "stock" ride with your lift if you do not mess with the TB's .

Why spend the 5k for a 6" lift when you can put on a 2" body lift($300) and buy a 4" suspension lift($800-1000) for half the cost and it saves your ride quality.

Look at the sig these are a 385 nitto on 8 inch rims. 6 inch rcx 3 inch bod and keys and the fronts are ok but hit in the rear when off road it now has a fleetside bed so i can run bushwacker flares and should be ok off road. I did have a 39.5 irok on there also and still cleared on the front.

For a suspension,you should also check out BDS Suspension.
6.5" Hi clearance design for the 1500's are nice.Torsion bars stays at the stock location.

i would reccomend the bds or rcx also. great quality and ride in both. ive installed 2 bds lifts on silvys and had great results, pretty easy as well. leave the keys alone.
