So I bought the truck for $2600. Could use new doors otherwise it is in pretty good shape. Runs great. The only issue I can see is the tires seem to rub when the wheels completely turned. It has bigger tires. Can I get a spacer or something to fix this?

Congrats on the purchase, using wheel spacers is not a good thing, it puts more of a load on the unit/hub bearing making where out faster than normal. Start looking for a different wheel with a different offset/backspace, around 4.50" on a 8" wide wheel is what you are looking for.

Noticed the first oil leak. Cannot tell where it's coming from. It's dripping off the drain plug.
