You might have to do some trimming of the valence depending on what height of a leveling kit you decide to go with. Also it helps if you put your 4x2 in your post for future reference man, so you can get more accurate replies.

if you are 4x4 you won't need any leveling kit, and will not have any rubbing issues. those are a perfect tire for stock ride height or a 2 or 3 inch max lift. anything more and you're going to want to look at a 35" tire.

Go with the 3" body, 2" kits don't come with bumper relocation brackets.

But with a body lift also you should have no problem clearing those tires.
