You should be able to get 35's with that 6" lift easily.

I seriously wouldnt go over a 35" tire. Anything bigger will be harder than hell on that IFS. As for tires, i'd recommend dropping to a 17" rim. It will be easier and cheaper for tires. Off-road tires are harder to find in 20's. As far as clearance you won't have any problems, you could clear a 35 with a leveling kit, but would rub off road. A 4" lift would be pretty much ideal for offroading with a 35. For lift kits check out www.topguncustomz.com

If your going to do off roading then these fabtech, rancho mainstream lifts suck. They actually keep ur wheel travel the same or worsen it. Go for something like kore or Carli. Unless its a street queen then who cares. But the 6" lift isn't going to lift it a full six inches maybe 5 to 5 1/2. Also like Hanson said the 20" tires a really expensive at least $250+.
