Yes you can.

You can actually fit them at stock height.

Not trying to tell you what to do & I'm sure money plays a big part in your decision, but if it was me I would save up a little money to go bigger. By the time you spend on the 285's you'll be wanting a bigger size. Just my 2 cents.

I couldn't agree more... I'm running 315 70 17 on a 2.5" lift and I wanted 37s a month later..don't waste the money on 285's and regret it... and if money does play a big role like it did for me lol then look into the kumho road ventures... they're not an expensive tire but have performed great on and off the road

Agree with previous two posts. Additionally, The tires will really look small with a 2" lift.
