ok.... here goes:

Truck is supposed to have a 4" lift. The distance from the factory bumb stop and the spring retainer on the front axle is > 5".

Existing setup is 285/r70/16 on what appears to be 16"x8" with 4" back spacing

The only thing close to the wheel is the tie rod end and it is CLOSE, but it would be 3 or more inches inside a 20" rim and the distance should remain constant unless catastrophic failure were to occur.
