Now that you have a lift under there. Would the torsion bar relocators be a fix for this? I mean if you raise your bars back up to the stock position, its got to help some. Your BS is probably 5". You can get 16x8 with 4-5/8, not sure about 5" though.

You can get 16x8 with 5" BS. I think Centerline has some and I believe Ultra too. Check out Centlinewheels.com and go to the Wheel Deals section. They have brand new wheels that are are trying to get rid of at really good prices.... maybe you can find something you like there.
Even keeping the 5" BS on an 8" wheel should help with the tires rubbing the TB because more of the tire will move moved outward. As compared to a 7" wheel it should move the tire away from the TB about 1/4" to 1/2"

Yea I was thinking about getting some of those relocaters. I just wasnt sure were to go about looking them up and finding prices. Anyone have any info on these? Im 100% sure it would fix the problem.

Man, I've heard of the lowered crowd tucking 20's, damn you're tucking 38's. Looks good with the lift, just get that a$$ back up there.

Ya know, at 1st, I wasnt too into your truck...but now that looking at your new pics, I really like it.
It would definitely benefit from some black rockcrawlers
Your buddy's truck is pretty sweet too.
