Need a solid answer
I hate to beat this to death if it has already been asked. I TRULY APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE.
I have a Sport, 3.73. Auto trans.
Can I run 285x75R17 (32.7" actual height tires) BF Goodrich ATs without doing damage?
What else will I need? Will I need a trans cooler or do I not need one?

Yes, you can run that size. It is a bit taller and wider than stock, as you know. At full lock either way, you may rub a bit. Nothing some minor trimming or a bit of steer stop adjustment won't fix. (or get some spacers)
Only you can decide if you are happy running a particular tire size on your stock gears. (my opinion - auto's are under-geared/under-powered from the factory)
Trans coolers cost what, $45? Why would you not get one, regardless of going to a taller tire...
