i have a set-up almost like that. i have 35x12.5's with the larger 350 rear blocks with a matching superlifts leveling kit. the bumper is trimmed just a little and i get a little rub when the wheel is turned all the way and hitting a bump.(like turning into my driveway).

the 350's come with the larger blocks. not sure what they cost.you'll need the blocks and u-bolts. i'm sure one of the sponsors on this site can supply you with them. my wheels are 9.75 wide but i'm not positive about the off set. i'm sure somebody else will chime in.

Rubbing the leaf springs when turning lock to lock can be adjusted by simply welding a little more meat to the stops.

Rubbing the lower corner of the bumper can be fixed by trimming or shimming the bumper out at the mounting bolts.

Here is a picture of the front all leveled out with 35s on stockers.

I am running a 2.5" leveling kit on the front with 35X13.5X20R on my truck. I had to take the plastic of the bottom of the front bumper some people cut it I just took it off. Also had to cut the plastic behind the front tire like the pics above.
