    Trucks been stock since I've owned it and plan on installing a 2inch front and 1 inch rear level kit when I got home from work in about 2 weeks. The question I have is will I be able to put 285/70r17 bfgoodrich ko2's on my stock rims with the leveling kit and will it rub if able to? Will I need wheel spacers? Any pictures of this similar setup would be nice. PS. Don't want to do any major cutting maybe some plastics and don't wanna do any hammering as well. Looking have a nice stance maybe like 0.5 - 0.75"' tire sticking out.

    You will need a spacer or a different wheel with an offset around 0. The more poke pr more negetive offset wheel you run the higher odds you will have rubbing.
    Lift does not equal clearence on ifs vehicles. You will want to find a competent shop that can adjust your caster for additional clearence.
    A little trim and tuck maybe required on the fender liner uo front depending on how you use the truck.
    Mud flaps will need to be removed.
    Second option skip the lift get wheels with a 0 offset and a 265/70r17 tire or 265/75r16.
    This was my first set up 17x9 +1 265/70r17 duratracs

    No lift related issues typically 0 rubbing issues may require removing mud flaps.

    assuming you mean rubbing against wheel well? and not the upper control arm?

    wheel spacers help to widen the gap between top of the tire and upper control arm.
    However, it also increases the rotating arch of the front axle which will make it much more prone to rub against the back or front of the wheel well when turning.

    For us IFS vehicles, wheel offset/backspacing is the top critical factor to clear larger tires contrary to what most people think (lift height) if you want to use the full suspension travel.
