2" leveling kit should be ok. Might have some rub at full lock, but, it rubs on the control arms..... what offset wheels ya got? (as the stock wheels are 16", do you already have the 15's?

That should be good then. Might stick out of the fenders a bit..... not sure about the laws where you are, but, sometimes, that offends officer friendly. (and morphs him into Officer UNFriendly...... )

I don't like wheel spacers. They make me nervous....... I would say, mount 'em up, see how they look, and see where/if they hit.
