All these are on a 2.5 inch level and the stock 18 inch rims. They don't rub one bit.

Slight rubbing but I only have a 2" level. 2.5 should be fine.

Why are you buying Nittos? One the mileage is Sh*t and unless u plan on off roading everyday there a waste. Spend ur money on a better tires. Like Coopet, BFG, Toyos.
Toyos are made by the same company just a high qualitys tire. And the new cooper mt tire is one mean tire on/off road. And the last an easy 45,000 miles. Same either BFG and coopers.

Oh yes I've still got this truck. However; I have swapped out the rims for some 18 inch XD monsters. But while I was running the stock rims it worked just fine. Great tires, no rubbing, and it still handled good.

I don't know about all that. These trail graps have 20k miles on them and they still look pretty meaty.
