4.5" backspacing will do the job for up to a 12.5 wide tires on 8" wheels.

OME has among the best ride, and the shocks are well tuned, cam bolts for the rear pinion angle would be a good idea, be sure to replace the front stabilizer as well.

more than 2" will need to have the extras or a complete hardware kit.

for factory allignment the rear trackbar can use a relocation bracket as well as an adjustable up front.
