I understand that I can clear these with the OME 891 in the rear and the 881's or tundra's up front with a spacer. My question is if I get 285/75/16 will my differentials be okay or would I have to re-gear. Id like to get these to fill the wells better tahn 265/75's but if I have to regear, Ill stick with 265/75's. Would I have to?

Since yours is a Limited your running at least a 4.10 gear,possibly a 4.30 if it has e-locker.I know of several people running 4.10's with 285's with no problems other than their speedometer being off by at least 5 mph.You may notice a slight loss in power and your mpg might be slightly less.I'm running 265/75's with a 4.10 only because I'm at stock height. As far as the 4.10's or 4.30's handling a 285,no problem.But if you're doing serious offroading you should re-gear for the 285's,4.56 or 4.88.

I have 4.10, no locker =[. Im dont do crazy off-roading. Good LIGHT (is the keuy word) trails. Small boulders, small logs, 3-5 inch creeks, etc. Nothing crazy just some good nature park type trails.

If I had a lift like yours,I would go 285's.Keep in mind you may have some minor trimming issues and some tire companys will only mount 285's on a 16x8 rim.But I have seen 285's on stock 16x7 rims.
 
i would say i do moderate to heavy offroading with my truck, and i still have the stock 4.10 gears. when i can afford to, i plan on changing to 4.56's and arbs, but for now the 4.10s handle the 33's fine for anything i do offroad. you will lose mpgs and some acceleration, but these trucks arent fast to begin with.
