265 vs 285

Okay i currently have 245/75r16 on my f250LD and am gettign some new tires soon. obviously the back of the truck sits higher than the back, so will 285s fit as opposed to 265s?

I was wondering this same question for my 98 f150 4x4. I talked to my tire guy and he said that on a 4x4 F150 thats a 97-03, 285s will fit without rubbing. He has yet to steer me wrong so I would assume that they will fit. I dont know this for a fact though.

They (285's) won't fit a 2wd they will fit a 4wd. IIRC 265's are as high as you can go on 2wd's, maybe 275's but they are rather rare anyway.
