The 285 number is only width... you need the entire tire size and wheel size to determine height of a given tire.


285 is height, not width. 285's are about 33ish inches tall. They won't fit under my 13 without a lift/torsion lift. They rub the inner wheel wells as did ALL of my 1500's without a lift of some sort.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Is your 07 early or late? They switched from the torsion bar front end to the newer system half way through that year. If its a torsion barsystem it just takes keys on the torsion bars. If its the newer style itll be adding shims in the struts. Neither are hard to do. I did mine on my 08 silverado 1500 in 2 hours with use of a hydraulic strut press. With a leveling kit you can run 285/75 r17 tires and it looks good.

I'm not sure on the Yukon but on the "older" style Silverado 1500 (1999-mid 2007) you can run 285's without a lift

You must be cranking the torsion bars way up to make that happen. 285's won't go on my '02 stock height.

No crank here, strictly stock suspension on my 02 4x4. 285/75/16 Goodyear Duratrac, slight rub in reverse fully locked only in one direction, can't remember which though. Other than that they fit just fine on stock and aftermarket rims.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies.  Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth on this one, been on vacation with the family.  Called Les Schwab and they told me they could only install a two inch in the front, nothing in the back, without having to change stock parts such as the shocks and things.  Sound legit?  I thought I'd seen 2.5 in front and 1 in in the rear without changing stock parts.  They'd quoted either a tuff country/rough country.  Cant remember which.  Basically a C shaped spacer in the front.

oh, and I believe it's an early 07, as it was built in 06.
The only difference between a butt kisser and a brown noser is depth perception.

Mine was installed without any other type of installed parts. You will need a frontend alignment FYI.
