Sweet. Got a picture? And are you still liking them so far?

Check out my build thread in my signature, tons of good photos of them up there!

Also I still love them went from 38 psi to 32 psi and its much quieter, smoother, and I feel like the tread is getting a full contact patch now too so it should be wearing better now too.

Overall I am glad I went with them over a 285/70r17 like everyone else has, but I will say that they are putting noticeably more strain on the drivetrain than the bald 285/70r17 ATs that I had on previously for like a month before these. I feel like re-gearing is in my future but I'm unsure between 4.56s and 4.88s...I plan on running full steel skids and sliders, along with a Victory 4x4 hybring front bumper and winch. For the rear I am undecided between a Coastal Offroad diy bumper or something like StellarBuilt is making out in Cali (unfortunately in-house only).

They do rub quite a bit as well, but not enough to stop it from functioning off road or on road. With a BMC relocation project coming in the next month or so that should fix most if not all of it. A local fab guy is working on that one for me. Stay tuned, it should be a pretty cool setup.
 
I've been running 285/75/17 for years, it's a great size tire for our trucks.

Check out the Falkens or Toyos MT

Another option if you're looking for bigger, Kenda just came out with the 35/10.5/17. I'm running these now. They are a skinny R/T tire, snow rated, and look badass. I'll have a review up later.

Do you think a 2 inch front lift will clear it If I do BMC and front bumper high clearance cut? Couldn't find clear answer anywhere.

Did you regear or feel the need to? Thanks

Regear was not necessary for 34s and V8.
2 inch lift will likely not be enough for 34s'. I had to do a BMC, front bumper, and was running a BL.
