I think I've decided just to lift the front of my truck 2 inches (rear sets 4 inches higher than the front right now) and just run some 33x12.5s I'll need a spacer in the rear but it should look BA

As for the rear, I used to have 1.5" spacers between the duals when I had 285/75R16s.

When I put the 315/75R16s on the duals just barely touched, so I went to 2.5" spacers, and moved the 1.5" spacers up front for a wider stance.
With 1.5":

I don't have a straight on pic with the 2.5" spacers, but it is about the same gap as before with the 1.5" spacers on the 285s.

Oh yea, just added these too, not sure how I like them, but at least the dog that keeps peeing on my tires might think twice
