I can tell by looking at it, it would clear a 315/75 (35") much less a 285 hahaha. Mine doesn't even sit that high and it clears 35's. Looks good.

The truck is stock with factory 6 inch blocks but all that is going to be gone next year. My plan is to eliminate the original spring pack, factory block and long u bolt and replace it with no block, shorter u bolts to prevent axle wrap and a new set of custom springs built by the same company that supplied my parabolics on the front end.
