Hello, my name is\*\*\*\*\* am going to help you with your question. Everything you have listed is the same as stock except the hub bore is 70.3, that difference should matter

then I need to keep looking for something that is exactly 70.3 hub bore?

No, the .2mm should not matter, the difference is negligible

Ok got it. I am also looking into a 2" suspension lift. Will this add more clearance or should I go with a body kit?

That is really up to you, just be aware that [tire size](/topics-tire-size/) changes, wheel spacers, and lifts are all changing the geometry of the truck and it is most likely things will wear out faster

sir. Now, I did find the other day that my oil cooler lines (significantly) are leaking at the oil filter and at the radiator (very slight). I have been advised to change these before doing anything further to the wheels/suspension for safety reasons. However, even with a floor jack, I cannot get enough clearance to get under the truck to change the lines. What would your advice be?
