Hauling with 255/85/16 tires.

I am running 255/85/16's on my 01 Dodge 3500. Running around on the street is fine, but when I put a load on it, the tires start to touch. What do you guys think of a set of 2" spacers and were is the best place to pick up a set?

I have seen spacers for 5/16", 1/2", 1", 2", 2.5", and 3"...

The smaller spacers such as 1/2" are quite inexpensive, but I didnt think 1/2" would do much. The loads I usually pull is just our 24' boat and a 18' car trailer.
