is this truck a 4x4 or a 4x2? it makes a difference in what options you have, i

if you have a 4x4 you could crank the torsion bars to gain 1.5-2 inches (i think, havnt done it tho so im not sure)

if you have a 2wd then youw ill need to get spacers or lift springs

and more information on the truck is better

yea, unless you have 32''+ tires they shouldnt rub

unleeesss.... the rims have a high offset that would cause your problem and wheel spacers could fix it or new rims

I dont think new rims is quite the cheap answer he was looking for lol

Yes if your wheel size is under 32" Id check the offset and get the right size spacers.
