I'm thinking about just shifting the stock intrusion bars.
Can you actually gain some more clearance just loosening and shifting the stock ones?

Just went for it with a 15MM socket wrench and 15MM box wrench.
Took like 20 minutes.

Front left shifted 3/8" toward bumper Front Right shifted 5/16" toward bumper
Back Left shifted 7/16" toward cab Back right shifted 3/8" towards cab

Now granted the center of the bars didn't move that much respectively
but clearance is clearance.

That was easy - NEXT

I will agree that it's not a whole lot, but every little bit will make a difference. Also I recommend keeping those bars there as they are meant to help protect you as an individual in the event of a frontend collision.

I think I'll be fine.
I'm about ready to install 265 70 18s on stock rims. I have a full 2" BDS front leveling lift.

I have the Eibach front suspension set at about 1 1/4" of lift with 255/70/18 tires on factory rims. I have plenty of room so you should be good. We like pics, too?

You’ll be fine with that - your OEM wheel offset and the 2” level are doing you some favours but if you ever go to aftermarket wheels, keep your offset at +25mm or higher or be prepared to remove or replace those crash bars.
