[QUOTE="Jenn D, post: 531617, member: 57678"] I have done the TT/Shackle lift and put on slightly agressive tread 265/75R16's. I had to do some minor trimming to the wheel well liner and worst of all, I have some rubbing on the front sway bar when I take sharp turns (i.e. parking lot). If you plan on keeping your stock wheels, I would for sure try to avoid the 285's because they are not made to go on a 7in wide tire (which is what I believe the stock is) and it would in turn cause a "bubbling effect" with the tire and end up possibly decreasing the life of the tire due to uneven wear. Just my experience, but I'd go with the 265's. I'm actually glad I didn't go larger due to the rubbing I got with this set. [/QUOTE]
