Duratrac's my choice for a great all around tire that also looks great, but depends your driving style and where you go offroading...

I agree with a small lift def go with the 285. You going to want to be in the 33 inch range. Why get a lift and everything to run stock tires sizes? Go with the duratrec though great all around tire and last a long time!

The BFG 255/80/17 is actually taller than a 285/70/17 and is about the same height as a 285/75/17 the 255 is just narrower but unless you just want a wide tire look the narrower tires work better off road. This is mine with 255/80/17 BFG KM2's and a 2 inch AEV spacer lift.
