Bilstien 5100 vs spacers

[Bpoole90]

So I’ve been searching the web for over a week, getting referred back to this forum more often than not. I’ve came across some very helpful information that’s helped me come to the move I’d like to make. but I could not find a single post that answered my final question. 

 

So my question is, with the bilstien 5100 leveling shocks can I or can I not fit a 34in tire? The specific size is a 275 65 r20, and the tire I’m leaning towards is the bfg ko2. 

 

And for some more information on what I’m after, if there is any better alternative that someone can lead me to. I’m defintely wanting a bigger tire, preferably the biggest without a major suspension alteration. Mainly just to help with the appearance and filling up these massive fenders wells. So I’ve come to the conclusion after reading a bunch of posts is that a some people report 33’s fitting stock, almost everyone can agree that 33’s fit with 2in spacers, and I’ve seen several photos of people on here fitting 34’s with the 2in RC... but more so the 2.5in RC kits. But I put a ton of miles on my truck, and plan on keeping it a long time. So my lack of knowledge on this matter has me believing the better option would be for me to opt for the leveling shocks to reduce stress? And who wouldn’t mind a better ride?

I run 5100's on the third setting (1.25?) plus a 2" spacer and cognito arms. 34's fit perfect. I put 25k on a year, 20k on the setup now with no issues
