285/70R17 NO Leveling kit?

Im sure the tires will fit but does anybody have pics with these size tires and NO leveling kit? I would like to see what it looks like. I may eventually go with a leveling kit but not right now, I need tires now and want to see how this would look. I would also like to see 275/70R17's as well. Any pics will help. Oh 04-08 body style is what im looking for, thanks alot.

They will fit easily, I have a spare set of Toyo AT's in that size. Not that much taller than the stock tires my truck came with.

Yeah I figured its not much taller, but I dont like the "crammed" in the fender look. I like a little fender well space, so I just wanted to see what it looks like. BTW Im looking at the Toyo AT's or the BFG AT's, I see you have both which do you like better? I do almost all highway driving and want something smooth and quiet.

Room to spare!

They fit easily with room to spare! Check out the pics on my gallery of my 285x70x17's BFG's All Terrain TA's , I took off the stock Americraps at 11,500 after Two flats from nails!.........Man those tires sucked so bad! You will be amazed at how much better the truck looks & handles with the proper size tire for a Big/Heavy 1/2 ton like the F-150 is!...........

Both are great tires, the BFG's are a little more aggressive looking and ride a little smoother. Also check out the Nitto Terra's "made by Toyo" they have a little better looking sidewall than the Toyo and you can get them in a 295x70x17, a little bit taller than the 285's.
