There are numerous post on here about cranking up the torsion bars. 285's should fit without raising the truck though.

The sticky at the top about tire sizes states you can fit 285's underneath a 4x4 without rubbing, and 305 or 315's with a little trim being done to the plastic piece that runs the length of the bumper.

I have 305/70/17 on my 98 F-150 offroad.They fit by trimming the mud flats back and a little bit under the bumper. I cranked the torsion bar 2 turns later just to stiffen the ride.(Looks good and rides better)

It will bottom out the suspenion easily and make it very stiff.
