I'm heading out to Colorado/Utah for some hiking and off-roading (Alpine Loop and Ophir Pass to be specific). I run 285/70/17's on a TRD PRO suspension and I'm getting a fresh set for this trip.
I was hoping my Eibach coil-overs would come in (after 7 months of waiting) for a 2" lift all around; however, the trip is upon me and I'll make due without the lift.
Thanks for your help!

I do Ophir and Alpine loop every summer (my dad was born in Ophir). You will do just fine with a 285 spare. Only two places to stay away from without a substantial lift: Black Bear and Poughkeepsie (the local rentals prohibit you from those two). I would also suggest you stay off the lower end of Engineer pass (Mineral Creek), were it meets US 550, with out at least a two inch lift. Thus to get to Animas Fork from the west side, go over Corkscrew, Hurricane, and California.
Check in with with the visitors centers in Ouray or Silverton for current local conditions and a free map.
The scenery is spectacular in that area. Enjoy!
