    I just need some advice to see if anyone has done it before.
    Right now i have 265/70/r17 milestar patagonia a/t's on and i'm going to be leveling the truck out with bilstein 5100's
    very little to no rub with current set up on bone stock
    i plan to put bf ko2's on after the level,
    i want to run a 285 has anyone done this before?

    As in your just raising the front to be level with the rear. 285s will rub if you make no modifications as in cmc, pinch weld etc.

    Loads of people have done this.

    Don't level it, leave a 1" rake to rear. That way if you if you put any weight at all it doesnt sit nose high.

    285's will rub, especially with wider rims or rims that stick out.

    265s or 275s make for way less headaches.
