Hey Jaren, I'm down to help. I've got my electrical impact gun which makes it easy as hell to do. I think with maybe 2 people, we can get this done in less than an hour.

You've got my number. LMK when/where this goes down.

You have fender clearance? 5 should be okay. Fronts and back?

This. Should be easy to measure how much fender clearance you have to see how big of a spacer you can run. Run a straight edge off the tire sidewall to the fender and measure the distance.
