I just did it on my 06. I assume it would be about the same on a 2nd gen. Here's my thread from it:

thanks man i really want to do this to my truck but i hate buying stuff and cutting it im always worried about screwing it up, i ordered 2 and a half inch spacers and i was going to put 285 75 16's on my truck but now i think im going to have to go wider ( didnt expect to have that much room between the tires) now im thinking im gonna go to 315 75 16's or maybe 305 70 16's but i want to put some flares on there.

I ran 285's on my last truck with 1.5" spacers and plenty room. Now I have 315's with 2" spacers and more than plenty room between them. The flares fit pretty well right out of the box. I didn't have to trim off much more than 1/8" inch and that was mainly in the top middle.
