If you ever get the chance to change out your gears for 4.10 to go with those 285 tires you'd really like it. I know I did (I started out with 3.55).

Got a install thread with pic? Pics of the coils installed? To the op yes you can but it will pull the axle over and back about a inch or so and you will be driving down the road crooked/dog legged. Which isnt right and you may get uneven tire wear.

Originally I put a 1.5" spring spacer on the front of my truck (by Hellbent Steel - still got them in the garage somewhere). It looked good when I was running 265/75/16" tires. I later replaced them (factory springs and 1.5" spacer) with 2" taller coils and a 2" rear add-a-leaf.
One thing I discovered though when getting before-and-after measurements with this 1.5" spring spacer, was the back of the truck (measured at the hitch) actually went DOWN after I put in the spring spacers. Picture your truck's frame as a see-saw, with the pivot point being the rear axle. As one side goes up (the front with the spring spacer) the rear goes down; in my case it was between one and two inches. I bolted a piece of spring steel to the bottom of the spring pack (like 3/8" thick) and that brought the rear bumper up a fraction of an inch higher than before the spring spacer and called it good.
I'm thinking a 2" spacer alone up front would bring the rear of the truck down even more. Would you notice it? I don't know; I did when I put one in mine; the rear of the truck just seemed lower after putting in the spring spacer even before I took after measurements. Rear add-a-leafs are not that expensive.
Just saying....
