No. With enough backspace and bumpstop it will work.

I had a friend with pitbull rockers like that but on 3.5". The issue he had was the tires contacting the brakelines up front and damn near chewing through them.

Sorry, 3.5" of lift. I have no idea on the backspacing....I was going to buy them and run them but they were on 16's. Kungfucracka was his username if he still visits here.
