McGaughy's makes everything I put on. Mine is 3/5 and I bought it all from Tim's online Suspension over on the GM Fullsize forum. He has a vendor section and you can PM him there.

Wheels are TBSS 22" on a silverado lug pattern. You can buy them from NorcalSS. He is on here and runs the TBSS owners forum.
I went with 305/40/22 tires. They don't rub at all.
