should be fine, little bit of rubbing when you turn sharp or back-up and turn. nothing a little trimming can't fix.

yes. you can clear 285/75/16s with no problem if you crank the front torsion bars up... i just did about a week ago and have no problems rubbing or going lock to lock. im runnin nitto terra grapplers. they are 12inches wide as well

nothing that serious, mine just rub on the plasic trim inside the front fender wells, but i'm running 305/40/22s. it only happens when i back up and turn pretty sharp.

after a couple of days of them rubbing you will notice the areas that will need to be trimmed though it is kinda funny scaring the hell out of people in parking lots.... okay not that funny but peoples expressions will always get me cracking a smile.

cranking your torsion keys up will cause your tures to wear unevenly because they will sit like this.../ \ instead of...| |. Sorry if confusing! That's why I'm getting rid of my torsion keys that leveled the front end to 3" (they are heavy duty & will be for sale cheap in a week or two if anyone is interested!) & going to a 6" suspension lift.
