6” Performance Crossmember System for 04-07 Ford F150 4Wd

Hello I'm wondering if anyone in this forum has this lift kit. (6” Performance Crossmember System for 04-07 Ford F150 4Wd) and what do they think about it??
also do you think I should add a Steering Stabilizer??
And one last question if I wanna put 20" wheel and a 35"tire do you know what backspacing and stuff do I need. I wanna order everything online but since Im not to good with tire sizes and stuff I don't wanna do a mistake.
Thanks,
Marco

I'm assuming you're talking about the Fabtech 6" kit and a lot of people have it. Backspace is totally up to you but anywhere in a negative offset will stick the wheels out past the fenders.

The more backspacing you have, the more the wheel tucks in. The less backspacing, the more the wheel sticks out.

Stock offset on an 04-07 truck is negative 30mm.... Zero is popular for lifted trucks... Some even go to plus 15 or more...

Backspacing is much easier to understand and visualize. The OEM 17's and 18's are 7.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of backspacing. I'd stay between 5 and 6 inches of backspacing personally.

You're backwards...stock is +30...neg will stick it out

Edit: Here's a link to a page which describes it to make it easier and has a chart for backspacing and offsets https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html

ok thank you, everyone
I think I'm gonna go for a 325/65R18 tires with 18x9 wheels with 5" backspacing.
Even if I still want 20"s really bad
