With no BL then 1.25" or 1.5" rear is the best that you can do.

Stock rear is 2.1" narrower than the front so whatever you can fit in the front keep that in mind if you intend to put spacers on the rear as well. Personally I like the driveability I gained when I added 1" spacers to the rear of my stock CC. 8)

I had the same setup on my CC and thought it looked pretty good that way.

Keep an eye on the Zr2 rear axle swap thread. I just got my crew sitting back on all four shoes pics will be posted soon. The rear is now 4" wider and looks great. My truck has no lift and is running 235 75 15s on stock zr5 rimes. Might give you a good idea for spacer size.

1 inch front and 3 inch rear spacers on mine, no body lift just shackles in the rear and T-bar tweak in front.
