its a 2500 right? judgin on the lug pattern you posted, if you get a 2" levelin kit then yes they'll fit. what offset will the rims have? a - offset will push the tires out and a + offset will tuck them in

you shouldn't have to spend money on a lift. jack your front end up and crank on the torsion bars. how ever many turns you do one the other is the same amount of turns. should get 1.5-2" out of that to actually level the truck then you can put them tires under no problem
