So my tire rub in the front a bit and I need spacers im completly lost on what to do I want to space it .25 or .50 of an inch and was wondering whats good spacer brand and can i just put the spacers on with out having to put longer lugs in and everything
 
Your tires rub what - the fender or the tie rod end?

If you're rubbing the fender then spacing the wheel outward will only make it worse. To stop it from rubbing the fender you'll need to A) lift it a little B) trim the fender C) move the axle forward slightly via Zero Rate etc.

Yeah we need more details a spacer could make it worse.
What size tires, wheels, backspace, lift etc.

It rubs the tie rod end clearnence if fine all the way around I don’t know the back spacing but it’s got a 4in lift and a 36x14.50 tire wheels are a 16x something don’t the exact specs
 
It rubs the tie rod? Are the wheels off of a later model IFS truck?
 
And those are fat tires
You might be cheaper putting a spacer but I would look on craigslist or similar for a better set of wheels, might end up with the same budget.
I have a set that would work fine but again shipping, you're far.
I am sure you can find a set local
