Yeah I think Rancho would be the way to go specially for beatin my truck up off road.. and they're amazing on and off, tear through mud like none other. Also have a different howl than most other tires on the road, but it's a beautiful song they sing.

The wear is decent, just make sure if you get em to have them rotated at least every 3k miles... 1500 would be alot better though. I've had them since last July and I'd say they have about 60% left. I probably won't get them again, need something that will last longer, but Ive never seen anyone on here or around town with them and they sure put in some serious work.

For "rugged" off-roading, I'd go with a full sub-frame over a cross-member. If you just absolutely have to go 6" then the Skyjacker kit uses a full sub-frame, but remember, with IFS, the higher you go, the weaker you get.

As for the Baja Claws, I think the new Claw TTC is going to be my next tire. I had the radial Claws on a Wrangler I had and although probably the best off-road tire I ever owned, they were pretty bad on wet pavement, but that's about the only complaint I have against them.

That REALLY helps Hammer, thank you. On skyjacker's website it says they have a kit for my 06, but I've never seen or heard of it anywhere else.. And yeah these claws are so gnarly lookin, almost as badass as boggers, gotten so many compliments on them too.
