Default Yet another tire question

This is for all you tire pros out there. Will 35's fit on my truck? I'm concerned about the front clearance. I'm looking at the bfgoodrich mud terrain. they come in 285/70/17 and 35's. It's got the stock 17 rims without a level kit. But the levelness isn't far off.

I put 35's on my 05 with only the torsion crank and no rubbing at all.

I do now, but I put the 35's on before I installed the body lift. I probably put around 1000 miles on it before the body lift and the tires never rubbed at all. Like I mentioned I did crank the torsion bars to approx. 2" higher in the front.

The photo shown is with no body lift.

gocha!

to crank the torsion bars, you tighten the bolts/fasteners on the crossmember that holds then right?
