I just cranked my TB's and i'm wondering if thats going to be enough to fit 285s. I can see that the front end went up a little bit but not a ton and i dont want to buy torsion keys if i dont have to.

They should fit!!

what year is your truck? mine is an 06 and came factory with 265's and i'm pretty sure 285's would fit just fine on mine. but thats my 06 for whats its worth![]()

Mine is a 2000. Would the width of the tire matter? I think the rims im looking are are 9" wide.

I also have 285's on my truck but like a couple other guys here mine are on the stock wheels. If you go wider in wheel width and or change the backspacing you may start getting contact on the outside of the fender on hard turns and/or when you stuff the wheel.![]()
i havee 285s on my truck with out cranking the t bars. absolutley no rub. you should be fine
just put cooper st 285/75r16 onstock rims of my 01 silverado z71 w/ no mods and they fit great and no rubbing issues. great improvement in the look from the old passenger tires that was on.![]()
i had 285s without doing anything to the TBs. i did end up adding torsion keys and 2 inch blocks in the back. i now run a 295 70 17 on an 8 inch rim, with still no rubbing!
