    So I’m wanting to get some bigger all terrains but I’m not sure what to go with. I have 2 thoughts: 1. A 2” spacer lift in front 1” block in back with 265/75-16’s or 2. Adjustable Bilstein 5100’s on the front, leave the rear stock with the 265/75-16’s. But I already have the pro comp series 01 wheels installed which have an offset of 0 and a backspacing of 4.5. Will either of these options work with these wheels?

    The wheels would work either way. If I were you I would get Bilsteins all the way around, forget the spacers, and get an add a leaf for the rear.

    Why would you put a spacer lift on your $40K dollar truck? Save your money and get a real lift. Good luck with your truck. Welcome to TW.

    I am running a 3" front, 2" rear spacer lift. I see both sides. Yes, 40K truck. A spacer lift would be the cheap route. I want to get a "real lift", however, I cant justify spending $3K+ on one when I dont plan on bouncing my $40K truck off of stuff big enough to need a "real lift". Down the road, maybe in a year or two I'll upgrade but thos is fine for now.
    I run 285/75/16's with a 1½" wheel spacer. No rubbing either.

    Do 5100 front. AAL rear.

    The aal costs slightly more than block spacer. I had a 1.5" block spacer, it made the truck handle terrible. I pulled it out quick.
