opinons on skyjacker leveling kit (dually w/ 285's)

seems like skyjacker makes pretty good stuff, just wondering if this is the best way to go- planning on new skyjacker shocks on all 4 corners, hoping to get the 285's on with a 1/2" spacer setup (bfg all terrains).
anybody have an opinion on the profile of the bfg's? -some tires of the same size seem to be wider or skinnier than others..

I'm getting ready to put 285's on my dually.Going with nitto for the E load range.I don't like the 1/2" spacer idea.The lug nut doesn't go on the threads all the way.Some members on here are running it that way though.A 1/4" works fine for the lugnut to fit properly but leaves the tires really close.My friend is running the 285's with the 1/4" and he tows regularly and has had no problems to date.I have a 1 1/2" Arrowcraft spacer to use if I don't like how close they end up being.

The bfg's would worry me.Alot of people on here can attribute Death Wobble being caused by running bfg's.Not saying this is 100% accurate but I've read enough cases of it that I'm not willing to find out.
