I should add, if you can swing the cost I would do new as well. I chose used for cost, but albeit new would be better.
To note, I run 305 70 18 cooper stt pro on the ford 18" Harley Davidson Wheels.
They rub the springs pretty good at lock but just barely barely touch the inner fenderwell. If I ran on aftermarket more offset wheel I'd hit the spring less and the inner fender more.....its a trade off.
I added steering stop extensions so now I don't rub, just less radius in turning.
If you run the new V codes with a stock block you may rub just like mine does. If you do used v codes albeit you rub much more.
Something to consider.
I think I will add some spring pieces to my fronts or do a drop hanger, then go to the taller block out back like Tom did after I add my F&R winch bumpers due to the added weight.

Does anyone have a phone # for Junior? or do I just call ATS direct?

While reading this thread I was waiting for the mention of a sway bar.
Stiffer/newer springs (X/B/ATSwhatever) will be helpful but the sway bar and correct tire pressures will "button it up" nicely.
