Curious - if I wanted to move my stock tires (stock for an FX2) out a hair, what might I need to get? I know it's a rookie question but it only has 3k miles and I don't plan to upgrade tires / rims any time soon.

you could get spacers but alot of tire companies frown upon them. I see your from fort worth, discount tire will not work on your vehicle if you have them. Just a fyi

with spacers, to do it "correctly" you usually will have to go with 1-1.5" to clear the studs. I highly suggest against them on these trucks as they are just heavy and people also use their truck as a truck.

Chances of issues arising, very small but by the time you spend $200 on quality spacers, you could have put that towards new wheels.
