Anyone running a 2"/1" lift with 285/75/17 tires?

Curious if anyone is running this setup and could post some photos. I feel like this might be the ideal tire size for me as it is only 1/2" smaller in diameter than an 315/70/17 and creates fewer fitment issues. If you are running this setup, are you running any other mods? I like the factory beadlock capable wheels but could use a bit more clearance and roll over for offroading. Thanks.

I’m running stock wheels and tires but changed to King Springs to increase weight loading for my topper can contents weighing 45o lbs. Ride is firmer than factory but cornering less roll. I’m ok with the firmer ride

I'm running RR beadlocks with Toyo 285/75/17 AT3, Goat 1.5" on front and rear. I have done a lot of research and this seems to be the sweet spot for me keeping the factory rake and not removing crash bars. I love the stance and only 1 mph off on the speed makes it not worth changing in forscan.

Thanks, this is great, appreciate the photos. Are you running spacers at all? Do you feel you have lost any handling or ride characteristics? Truck looks great.

I’m running the GOAT 1.5 in front and rear. Handing has not changed as factory rake is the same and ride height has been recalibrated. The Toyo tires are much softer than the bfgs and makes for a smoother ride.

My father in law has 285/70/17 and they are fine with a 2" lift. Not sure how much that helps though

Can you tell me more about these? Like how wide is contact patch (especially relative to the stock BFG's - which tend to be skinny for their size).

Also, can you post some picks by any chance?
