I don't think you will have any problems running those tires on a stock pickup. They are about the same as a 33 inch tire.

I am running 285/70/16's on 16x10 Progressives....but mine has about 6 inches of lift......for now....getting rid of about half of the lift soon.



The '79 F150 on the trailer has 35x14.50's on 15x10's with 4 inches of lift and some fender triming......
