it depends on how wide the rims are.
i haven't measured to tell u exactly, but i can tell u that i have 8.5" wide rims with I THINK (haven't checked in a WHILE) 5 or 5.25 backspacing, and the front tuck with the camber, but the rear are about an inch or 2 from tuckin.
I'm pretty sure there's a post on here from the past that says exactly how much u need with certain widths if u search for it...peace

Ive tried searching but to no avail. The 20s that i have now have 5.5 inches of backspacing which is no good cuz they stick out in the rear maybe .75 of an inch? and they are 8.5 inches wide.

i'm just guesstimating, but i'd say u need at least 6.5" of backspacing with 8.5" rims. Unless u can afford some real nice, expensive, custom rims like Boyds or Boze; it's pretty hard to tuck most rims wider than 8" without shortening the axle...peace

Is that 6.75" backspacing for both the front and rear?

yes or no. UP to you. I think if you get it on the front also you can be hella low and turn lock to lock and plus you dont have to cut as much out of the fender because it already cambers in and the fender rises the further in you go. Id wait and see if there is somone else that knows beacuse i dont have this on my truck but have read alot about it. late
