Is there a lift on your truck? What brand and size of tire are you running? Rim size and do they rub? I like the look and have the same color scheme....

I have the snow plow prep package (heavier springs) and a 2 1/2" leveling it up front. In the rear, 4" blocks. I have plenty of room to clear the 35's, but I've heard of guys withOUT the snow plow prep package rubbing slightly with just a 2 1/2" leveling kit. A lot depends on the tires chosen for rubbing to occur. Obviously a Nitto Trail Grappler or Toyo Open County MT will have a better chance of rubbing than an all terrain tire with less sidewall lugs.

Thanks for the kind words...

They are not 4"...I keep screwing that up. The blocks were added by the original owner (not me)...they are apparently difficult to find. I have actual cast-iron, FoMoCo 3.5" blocks withOUT bump stops. The bump stops have not been cut-off...
They were on the truck when I got it, but they are definitely not a F-250 block. I believe they are F-350 SRW camper prep package blocks, but I've never confirmed it. Sorry. I do know they are 3.5" tall. The picture is a crappy angle, but I' assure you they are 3.5" and not 4" blocks.
The height is very important to me as any higher and my fiver isn't level or my four wheeler trailer and I'm kind of OCD about level trucks and trailers. I don't like any rake at all.

A lot depends on what offset you go with.
Stock is +40mm
325/60R20 (35.6" x 13") work on a stock turck with stock offset wheels and only rub at full lock on the control arms.
The same tires on -12mm offset rims DO NOT work. They hit hard on the bumper bracket and the sheet metal at the back of the wheel wells. I tried it and I could not even turn enough to get out of my driveway
(Until I cut the bumper brackets off with a grinder and bent the sheet metal at the back of the wheel wells). But not everyone one likes to cut / beat new trucks so that is why I say it does not work.Thanks

OEM XL 17" steel wheels painted with PlastiDip. Cost me all of $20 to have black wheels. 
285/75/17 GoodYear Duratrac tires
The tires have about 20k on them by now and still have tons of life left. I am in no way easy on the truck and have roasted the back set plenty of times.

Factory 20" Lariat wheels were replaced with 18" Core Racing "Rogue" wheels. Currently has BF Goodrich All Terrain KOs on it, will be putting Cooper Discoverer AT3's on it when they are done - probably spring.
