The literature straight from teraflex (in the description of this lift right on their website...) says you'll want a 4.5 BS or lower.
You will have issues with the rear links using stock wheels with no spacers, and will probably rub in the wheel well up front with the width of these tires...
The faq's at the top of this modified area are another good place to look.

Yes, you will need spacers. I am running the 1.5 spidertrax. My 305/70/17's rubbed hard on the front swaybar without them.
pics because I am a pic-whore:
EDIT: I just went out a snapped a couple of pics... I think you can get away with a 1" spacer. I have about an inch of clearance between tire and swaybar with the 1.5" spacers.
Looking down from the top, passenger side when turned left full-lock:
Looking from the rear, driver's side when turned right full-lock:

Im wanting to order 305/70R17 tires from discount tire. I have 1.5" wheel spacers already ordered but discount tire said they would not touch the wheel spacers. Do you think I would be able to put them on with no spacers and drive about one mile home then take the tires off and put the spacers on?
