Looking to change the truck up a little.
I am looking to spruce my truck up just a little bit. I have almost 7000 miles on my truck and I am already tired of the Pirelli tires on this thing.
I tow my off road rig with this truck so I am not looking to do anything serious like 35" tires or a 6" lift. I was actually looking at putting a set of 305/55-20 bfg ats on the truck. I have the black appearance package 20s and was wondering if those tires would clear my upper control arm.
If I have to do a level I really do not want to do more than a 1.5" to keep some rake for hauling or towing.
Anyone that has a similar set up please feel free to chime in. Especially anyone that has any pictures.

Get yourself a 2" level and since your going to be towing, consider getting some air bags for the rear. I have a 2" level sitting in the center console waiting to be installed. Its a 2" Hell Bent that I think I spent like $75 for. It only measures an 1" thick.

I have the same tire in Nitto Terra Grapplers and they do rub the UCA at full lock.
Now I'm looking to get maybe 1/4" 0r 1/2" spacers.

Well I guess I will be leveling. I can't say I am too upset about it lol. It's not like I tow my rig all the time. Just a few times a year really.
