i haven't noticed rub marks anywhere around the tire, but the back of the spindle where the steering stops shows some wear but not due to the wheels.

Has anyone tried the toyo open country A/T tires LT285/75R17? They are taller 33.8 inches but don't have the extra width. I am thinking about them for next year after a body lift.

Neither what I got was new torsion bar keys. My truck's front has a torsion bar front suspension as did all of the 1500 4X4 02-05. The 06's and up and the 2X4 have the spring suspension. So my type of leveling kit will not work with your pickup. I would recommend if you just want to level it go get the coil spacers, pretty cheap and nothing permanent.
