Did you cut down your u-bolts? If not, you should do that. I have 4" blocks in the back, and still have 4 or 5" of clearance with stock tires and rims.

Depends on how much smaller the over all tire is going to be. If it's .5 inch smaller all the way around, and your u-bolts are .5 inches off the ground, then you're in trouble.

right now i have american racing wheels 15x8 and 255/60/15 and it rubs like hell and is ripping my tire up. Is there a 60 series tire that is smaller that i could get, or do you think that shocks are going to help me out. I took all my bump stops out and it rides better but maybe my problem is i need to get those stock socks out of there.

When does it rub like hell? All the time? or just when driving?
If you don't want to rub, i'd go with a smaller tire...like a 55 series or 50 series.

Well, the 60 is the percentage of the tire walls, to the width of the tire. So by definition, you can't go any smaller with a 60 series unless you get a skinnier rim. So there really isn't anything else you can do, except raise your truck or get smaller tires...or modify your fenders.
