    I think you'll get some rubbing...Minor trimming will take care of it.

    Tire size should affect your alignment I don't think. Yes...Trimming plastic. I don't think you can get any larger without chopping the body mount...but I have been known to be wrong.
    The stock UCAs may rub too....but I can't remember for sure...

    I have my fox 2.5 coilovers set at 2.5" and have 17x9 4.5BS -12mm offset rims with 285/70/17 goodyear wrangler duratrac tires and I rub on the cab mount pretty badly when backing up and turning almost to full lock, and when going over a bump/incline kinda fast while turning. If I cut the cab mount and box it up I should be golden though.
