2006 F150 FX4 6" Lift for 5.5" BS wheels

Hey guys,
I've been killing myself over the past few weeks trying to search for this answer but I cannot come to a definitive answer. This is one of those things where you need a YES or NO in order to go through with.

What brand lift can I use my 20x9 wheels with a 5.5" BS and 295/65/20 (35.1" x 11.6") Nitto Trails?

I found a guy that says he has a 6" Skyjacker on one of the forums in his 2008 KR with the stock 20's and 35" Nitto Trails so I thought I was in the clear. (I PM'd him to find out but he hasn't responded). Anyways, I called Skyjacker Tech Support (318-388-0816) and they said their kits only work with 4.5"BS wheels like most other brands. What the hell...Back to square one. I have read a couple posts on here about 5.5" should work since some guys have 5" and still have some clearance left. The only other ones I was looking at were Fabtech (they increase the front track width with CV spacers) and BDS. I emailed the Fabtech Tech guy Armen Mosikian and he just said they dont test their kits on 20" wheels. Go figure.

Can anyone offer information about this and lead me in the right direction as to who might have a setup I am looking for or who to talk to?? I know I should just get the 4.5" BS wheels but my wheels are brand new and would like to keep them because I am not a fan of them sticking out a ton (also illegal around here).

Thank you very much.

UPDATE:

The 6" BDS will easily clear 20x9 wheels with a 5.5" BS. This is for anyone who searches for this in the future. I put on the BDS last weekend and I couldnt be happier.
