What's the backspacing? I think you'll only need 1.25 on the fronts, not the rears.

I've got the same setup minus the lift (Rough Country 3.5"). I'm not running any spacers and don't rub.

4.5 is the minimum recommended for a 2.5" or more lift.

I run rockstars with 35x13.5 tires with no spacers and i rub at full lock on the sway bar on the street. The 3'' inch TF Kit is going to yield almost 4 and that kit comes with the appropriate bumpstops so you will be good
