Default 97 Tire Question!

I have a 97 4x4. Has the stock suspension and factory lift. Wanted to put a set of 285 tires on it.The tire i want to put on is the 285/75 R16 BFGoodrich Allterrain. Heard of these tires fitting but slightly rubbing when turning lock to lock. If yall know any thing bout his would greatly appreciate it if ya let me know. Thxs.

I've got a 98 4x4 with the same tire. No lift at all. I've got a nice clean spot on the driver's side upper control arm from TIGHT lefts. It's probably because my track bar isn't aligned perfectly. The right side doesn't rub at all.

It's more an annoyance than anything. Happens maybe two times a month.

If you look close, you can see black in front of the bright spot. That's rubber from the tire (think about the angle). That's probably 2 years of wear. Nothing noticable on any tire (regular rotations). Sorry for the crappy pic ... the light was fading ... camera phone ... all that.
