Been discussed MANY times...daily actually.

Do you have a 4x4 or 2wd? If you have a 4x4 do a 2" shackle and tbar lift for ~$60 and you'll be good. If not you'll need coil spacers or a body lift. 2" should be enough lift to clear the tires though. You might have minor rubbing at full lock with an 8" wide rim.

Do a search if you want more info. It's probably THE most asked question here....theres plenty of info on it if you just read.
