Bigger tires and gearing

Bigger tires and gearing
I was just wondering what the effect would be if I go from 265/70/17 to a 285/75/17. I'd like to fill out the wheel well a little better and get a more aggressive tread. What I don't want to do is harm my truck. I don't know what gears my truck has, is there anywhere to tell. I do know that at 120kph the truck runs just over 2100 RPM. Any help would be great. Thanks Guys.

Thanks guys, my truck has the 5.4 and I've the hypertech power tuning. I occasional haul a trailer but usually just a snowmobile or other light stuff. I did mean 285/70/17 but I'd like to put the largest tire on that I can without damaging my truck. I also have a '97 that I had to do the tranny on and it cost me $2500 to fix, which I'd rater spend on accessories that repairs. Thanks again for all your help.
