    6112s and 5160 , Dakars , Superbumps x4 , u-bolt flip , All Pro Skids (hacked and raised) , 265/70R17 KO2s, SEMA wheels, couple of machined things here and there
    They'll fit with no lift and I doubt they will rub. My 265/70 17s rubbed a minuscule amount on the mud flap. With my 6112's at setting 3 I got about 2" and all rubbing is gone.

    I would avoid the spacers and block and replace the strut and either do an add a leaf or replace the whole pack. Do it right the first time. Will you break it? Probably not but you spent a lot of money on a new truck, don't cheap out now.

    ETA: To answer your question directly, no you don't NEED to do anything else other than alignment. Not sure why you would need to mess with the diff, that's only to compensate for much larger tires. Stock gears will be fine at that size.

    Hey Mike, Do your self a favor I don't how many miles you have on your truck. I would take off the stock shocks and put on bilsteins 5100 all around with 884 coils or 885 coils. Talk to Maria from Headstrong off road she will hook you up.
