I have a 04 ext cab flareside f150 4x4 that i just recently added a 2 inch level in the front. Would i be able 2 fit 285 70 17 on my stock 17 inch rim with no rubbing issues? Any help would be great thanks in advance.

First, welcome!

I knew the answer to your question is yes, they will fit fine, especially with the levelling. But, I did a quick search, by using the "advanced search" button and came up with this thread. If you want more to read, do a search with the subject of "285/70/17". Also, when reading, pay attention to what Wandell has to say when it comes to wheels and tires. He is an expert.

305's are a great fit for a leveling kit. Most 35x12.50's will fit but will rub slightly on the lower control arm at full steering lock.
