Will I need wheel spacers?

Hi all. I'm about to install a 2" Rough Country leveling kit (2 in front, 1 in back) to my '20 XLT SCSB. I'm planning on installing 275/70R18 BFG AT/KO2 (33.2 x 10.8 inches) on my stock wheels directly after that. Are tire spacers necessary for this? I wouldn't think so, but wanted to check.

No, you won't need them. But as the front suspension is moved lower due to the lift, the front wheels will move inward with the suspension, narrowing the front track. Some 1.25" spacers on the front wheels will make it look better.

Thanks. So, 1.25" just on the front won't make it wider than the back?

You will see after it's leveled how much the front track is narrowed. When you put spacers on the front, it will look right again. The rear won't need it.
