In those pictures the torsion bars are cranked. The tires are 285/75/16 BFG TA KO's

Now I have a body lift running the same tires, but i dont have any pictures yet!

I had 285 60 16 on my lowered truck... i had no problem with them... there was a little rub in the front at full steer but nothing that you would nodice or thast even mattered. All it did was polish a little spot on the radice arm.. hope i helped

I just took pictures of the truck today, ill probably have them up tonight.

And the 285/75/16's would look rather small.

Stay away from the leveling kit. Save your money and just crank up the torsion bars.

I'm running 295 pro comps

No leveling kit, but i do have heavy duty springs and shocks on the front.

Absolutely no rub, but comes within a quarter (literitly) of rubbing the front bumper when turning.
