I don't think spacers on a 3/4 ton would be a good plan..... and in all reality, spacers would probably only change where the tires rubbed.... don't think simply spacing them out will be adequate to the task. It alters the arc they travel in, so, they would prolly hit the inner fender liner, or bumper, or some such.

Couple companies make control arms that are 'indented' in such a way as to provide more clearance.... would be a better option in my opinion.

No go on the spacers... Get different wheels... Safer that way.
