Well while I recomend a aal from ebay $50 it will drop down to an inch after about 6mo, at that point add mj shackles 1" but a 2" spacer will be fine up front

Or you could do blocks, i don't like them, they are a shortcut but yea gotta do what you gotta do

Remove tire, cut seam, beat flat, and like duke said, drink a beer.
