Looks great, nice improvement!
Feels like the way it should have been from the factory, doesn't it?

Would these tires rub on an 08 2WD Screw that has a 2" front AS spacer?

That would be really tight, you might get by on factory rims. I think one person here put 35's on his 4x2 with a 2.5" level using factory rims. 305/65/18 would be 33.6" diameter

It would be a guess, but I would say no because most things that I read stated a 2" level for a 4x2 and a 2.5" level for a 4x4.

Im debating on going with the 285/65 or the 305/65. They will be going on the same rims you put yours on.

mine is 2wd. i have 305 Nitto's on factory wheels that fit fine before i put on the body lift. super crew is heaver so it might be a little lower than my reg cab but, shouldn't be enough to make a difference.
