4x4 or 2wd?
What 2" lift are you talking about? Torsion bar lift? Don't buy aftermarket keys, just crank your stock ones up if that is what you are after. 285 is a nice upgrade and fits the trucks well. I have a new set of 285/70r17 nitto terra grapplers. Love them.
These are not with the new terra grapplers but same size

Dam, thanks for the quick replies! Too late already bought the torsion keys and rear blocks, kind of ran my knee into the dirt (handicap, like a ****) so can't install yet...I too have Nitto Terra Grapplers (285/75/16). Was wanting to look at the stance, or should I move up to a 315?

Sorry to hear about the knee, but at least it'll give you a chance to return those torsion keys and not bring havoc to your front suspension, unless you like replacing cv axles, ball joints and tie rods regularly. Besides stock keys are free.
I'm guessing you want to keep the factory rake since you went with blocks too?

Just want it level.....and bigger...cheaply! But dont want to many probs either....Have had some issues in the past and now with tires wearing unevenly...figured it was cause I adjusted the stock keys....as soon as I did it, aligned it, and checked the balance, still wearing on the inside of tire in the front...again thought it was cause I adjusted stock keys...I bought these one to fix that, did I mention I did replace both lower ball joints already before I put these tires on two years ago, they might have 10k on them and they are worn....
Okay let's see if you want it level you don't need blocks. Crank the stock keys until its level (don't go any further, just keep it at level), get it aligned (possibly try a different shop), rotate those unevenly worn tires to the back, make sure all other suspension parts are good, and you should be okay. The problem your going to hit now is that since those tires are already unevenly worn it's going to be hard for them not to keep wearing like that if you keep them up front.
Those aftermarket keys are not an answer to any problems, but really a cause to most up front. They allow you to crank to far putting the truck out of spec, meaning alignments won't be good, and you'll be eating up ball joints, tie rod ends, and cv axles like every 10k or so.
Bigger and cheap don't really go together, you gotta pay to play.
Also what kind of tires are you running now?
