    That's basically a 34" tire. At that width, expect to cut parts off of your truck - not just plastic.

    I don't mind doing small plastic trimming. I have already removed mud flap. I'm just worried about uca and cbc

    You'll need a cab chop, no getting around that.

    Honestly man.. I linked you to a great thread about 285s, and there's 20 more.

    You need to do more reading, then ask questions for clarifying things.

    Uca will be fine with spacers or backspacing

    With any 285 width tire, you should do a cab mount chop. If you don't really flex or wheel your truck you might "get away with it". Lift makes no difference. When you flex the suspension it will compress to the same point as a stock suspension setup. Add the extra width of a 285 - especially a 34" tire - and turn the steering wheel. Shit's gonna rub. That's why I chose to go with a 255 width tire that's 33.5" in diameter. Do yourself a favor and get some good UCAs that will adjust your caster to match your lift.
