    Morning fellow yota owners,
    I know this topic has been discussed in 100s of threads and other forums but decided to ask again. Looking on lifting to clear 20x12 -44s on 35x12.5s please let me say loud and clear “I WILL NOT BE OFF-ROADING” if I do go off roading it will be into some grass or getting out of some mud at the dump. so I don’t need the whole bds this and that. But would like to hear your honest opinion. So I tow on a regular basis usually 3-4 days a week give or take 5-7000lbs looking for something that won’t break the bank aka bds but also looking for some good quality. Im a big no spacer lift kinda guy but to each there own. I have been looking at RC. The lifted struts I know everyone bashed rc and I’m not really sure why but totally understand entitlement to opinion.

    Question #1 will the rc with lifted struts be fine ? Or will I need to go something like
    Bds??? I have been told o need elka suspension and sorry to the shop but I’m not a complete idiot. Only partly because I’m looking at rc hahaha. if I do need to go another route aka bds please let me know why. Geometry and alignment aren’t factory? Breaking axels ? Throwing UCa ball joints ? Etc
    Question #2 is it possible say I go with the rc 6in and stuff starts to blow or just not happy with the overall lift. Am I able to swap out parts aka buy the bds and bolt her in seeing both require cutting ? Or even throwing in some fox 2.0s in the front and rear. Probably would just buy the bds kit outright If they swap up.

    question #3 zone is partnered with bds yeah yeah I swear all you guys are bds reps hahaha would zone5 be a better option then the rc 6 with lifted struts. Not sure how I feel on extended /blocking struts interesting how they reverse the lift end on the kit but still not sure on towing/overall safety. Don’t want to be going down the street and have a front end under the truck

    Also Not to worried about ride I have a 2012 rubicon on aev 3.5 on 35s and it a beast of roads but rides like an I beam on the streets so not worried about ride as much as I am worried about the alignment/geometry and not breaking parts L and R

    please let me know if There is any other way of clearing 20x12 -44s with none/very very minuscule rubbing. From my understanding -44 means you gotta go ^ hahaha all thoughts would be much appreciated even if you live at the bds headquarters:)
    CHEERS
