well hello again frank it seems like im answering all of ur questions but i hope other people do to cuz apparently i hear sometimes im not always right, but i think thats just a rumor! but for rims wise i would check out american racing rims alot of there designs come in the dakota lug pattern (6 on 4.5)and there backspacing typically is bigger then most, and then just in case ur not sure what the backspacing is its the distance the rims sit back onto the suspension the bigger the backspacing the more the wheels ride in the wheel well meaning less rubbing on the body but then of course too much backspacing means rubbing on the frame so dont get too big and for wheel wise i recomend bfgoodrich thats all i ever ran on my jeep and i loved them but if money is a question check out the dunlop mud rovers theyre a bargain if u have any other questions email me at berrymans@aol.com

for the fabtech 3" you need a maximum of 3.5 backspacing 4.5" is too much and will hit the brake lines and cut grooves into your lines causing brake fluid leak and no brakes , now if you don't care than put whatever you want .....
