what do you expect to get into lol? i have the stock 235 85 16 on mine and i have more than enough clearance where i go as far as 4x4 i think you will be disappointed if you get into some soft areas these heavy front ends sink.so ya know i live for hunting and fishing eat sleep and breathe just for killing stuff so i now what your talking about as far as getting to areas.what is your truck xcab longbed?i think you would be surprised on what you can go over and remember the higher the truck is the higher you have to lift dead animals and stuff in. i have heard some guys stuff 35's under them but 33's will barely fit on mine

i guess its 235/85/16 remember load range should be E also for the added weight on the front end from the motor.to be sure see if the sticker on the inside of the door is still in good condition that will tell you also

285 is just the tread width. that doesnt tell you how tall they are. thats where the second number comes into play. ie 75 80 85. like, a 315/35/15 is smaller then a 255/85/15
