get a daystar 1.5" spacer for the front and you can fit 285/75/16's (33's) just fine. i ran that setup for over 6 months before i lifted mine and its 40 bucks for the spacer

Or you could add a 3 inch body lift. Or better yet, combine coilspring spacers and the body lift.

The rear has the clearance it needs or you can get a block to keep the rake look the truck has now.
