i am running 32's on mine and they where installed new right before i bought it ,but it also has the factory running boards and they hit bigtime almost ot the point of catching and ripping them off and i have my TB's cranked 7 turns which equals about 1 3/4 inches
if memory serves me correctly it is 1/4" per turn
If they werent like new i would buy new 31's and go back to stock,only reason being it is my daily driver and i travel close ot 90 miles aday round trip .

yeah i bought it used but i dont think they were cranked. my 32's rub quite a bit especially when i turn and go over bumps. so if i cranked my torsion bars 2 inches, but stuck with 32's, then how much rubbing would i have. And if i cranked them up 2 inches then would my truck be level?

If you have the stock wheels it shouldn't be too bad. You may just have to trim a lil bit of the innerfenderwell. I had to trim a lil bit more due to the backspacing on my steelies.

right now i have 18 inch wheels on it but i am selling them and i am going to buy 15x10 inch american racing wheels and hopefully they will stick out a little more but not rub as much with the torsion bars cranked.

Not exactly sure. The shop that put them on ordered them for me. I'm sure if you google them you will find something. I'll see if I can find something too.
