I'm running the same size tires as Rick with 10 inch front springs and
11 inch rear springs with no spacers, but I had some rubbing issues on
the fronts until I installed a rear anti sway bar (Goodparts: set at
second hole from the back). Prior to that I had a clearance issue
also with the rim that was fixed by something stripping off the lead
weights used to balance the wheel! My left front tire got into the
fender a bit too but both those problems went away after installing
the rear anti sway bar.
