Bfg's 285/70 R17

I see BFG has 285/70 R17. Thinking of installing a set on stock 2001 F-150 4x2. Any one see any problems? Now have stock 275/60 R17. Want the extra 3" in height. I have heard I will need to have dealer calibrate computer to match new tire size or I will not shift correctly. Any feed-back? Does any one have pics of 285/70 R17 on your 4X2?

Yes you will have to recalibrate it . (aprox. $ 200.00 )
you shouldn't have a problem The 275 60 17 is 30.00 OD
and 10.53 Wide the 285 70 17 is 32.71 od and 11.23 wide
hope this helps
