Why dont you buy the tires and get one mounted and see if it fits and if it dont buy a spacer and get them put on when you get the spacer put on.

How much was the alignment after you installed the 2.5" autospring? Did a regular shop align it for you?

yes I am happy with the performance. they do great year arround. they do good in snow but not so good on ice. I am thinking fo getting my tires siped this year and running lower tire pressure this year to help me not slip on the ice so much. other than that I am vary pleased with them. they are a little spendy. I think the best deal I found was on tirerack.com. I searched the internet and found the best deal I could find at the time which was 185 bucks back then. I think they are more expensive now. but I went to my local altons tire store and asked if they would match the internet price and they did to my supprise. they even bought my stock tires for 85 bucks a piece. I got a better deal than I would have gotten on the net because I didn't have to pay shipping good luck finding a deal.

I was thinking about doing the local shop but we got frigging 10% sales tax!!!! so shipping would probably be friggin cheaper! lol But thanks for that info! that helps alot!!

You'll need to get your truck re-aligned after a leveling kit.

yes you do need a alignment after the lift. my dealer said mine wasn't off to much so you might get away with out it. oh and if you are wandering if they will fit just measure your tires you probably have 31's and if you want to fit 33's just make sure you have more than 1 inch of clearance all arround when you turn your wheels back and fourth. I am guessing those tires will fit even a 2wd.

You need to get an alignment anytime you mess with the front suspension.

I know, when you get your tires have the shop put one of them on a rim and see if it will fit and if it wont just take it off and put the factory tire back on untile you get your leveling kit installed.

Those tires should fit fine without the leveling kit. My tires measure 32.1" tall and 10.8" wide, the 285s measure 32.7" tall and 11.2" wide.

This is assuming that all stock wheels have the same backspacing.
