That makes me wonder if there is more than one stock offset...

How often do you leave paved roads? If you have to think about that question at all, go with 5. If you are concerned about the bed space, throw it in the garage at least so if you have a flat your wife can strap that 150lbs. tire to the roof rack of her TDI and bring it to you...lol

Everyone does realize that a leveling kit will just make your rubbing even worse due to it pulling the front axle towards the rear of the truck more? If it was leveled on 37s, guaranteed it will rub.

bronco, I will figure something out to get it outta the bed. No the TDI doesnt have a roof rack and no my wife couldnt get it up there. I was thinking of making a roof rack that ties into the front bumper or something one day or a prerunner style tailgate. cumminsfan04, I ain't levelin nuthin. I have always been against body lifts, blocks or any lift that isnt a real suspension lift. I did a springover on my scout with a 4in spring lift and extended shackles and 36x14.5x16in IROKS so no fake lift there. If I was gonna level it it would be with air front and rear. With just the MT/R's its not gonna fit in my garage I only have 2" to spare stock. well Its lunch time now....

I need the function of the no lift look fer my pulln biz and the biggest tire so I can drive anywhere I want.
I would go with a nice tire plug kit 2 save room and money. Plugs ain't the best but I been using them fer a long time
