Default another "will it fit" question

I have an 01 Dak C/C 4x4 and I am trying to make sure this set up will work with minimal issues. I have cranked my TB 5 full turns up front and put 2" blocks on back. The truck is about 3/4" away from level and now its time to figure out the tires that will fit. I have access to a set of great condition 285/75 16's and they look like they will fit in and I can use the heat gun/spoon method to get a bit more clearance at full lock. Maybe just touching at full lock but still do-able. Has anyone tried THIS setup. I know it would clear if I added a 3" Body lift but i don't offroad except pulling my wife out of a ditch from time to time, so the BL is out. But I just wanna know ASAP if anyone has gone this route and has advice. Also backspacing an issue?? any other thoughts are welcome. Thanks fellas.

Might be close I think thats a little bigger than a 32 Really height isnt too much of a issue its the width. I have my tb cranked to where is level with my rear and I have 32/1150/15's and they only rub a little under full lock. Btw you will need a alignment also if you just recently had one it wont be too bad but I had mine done 5,000 miles before I cranked mine so when I checked it was off a little

Yeah I just cranked the bars and was making a decision on tires by the weekend so I'll align them at that point. The 285/75 breaks down to 32.8 by 11.6 so if yours basically cleared mine should to. Got any photos of the way yours looks now? Just to plan ahead
