'05 k1500 Tires

I'm looking at replacing my stock tires (265/70/17) with something
larger and was wondering what my options are. I'm wanting the Goodyear
MT/R's in 285/70/17 or preferably 305/70/17. Has anyone tried either
of these sizes on an '05 Crew Cab Silverado w Z71. I'm willing to cut
the wheel-well liners and raise with torsion adjustments but would like
to avoid the purchase of a lift.

I am running Dunlop Mujd Rovers 305/70/16 just fine on my 88 K1500 stock
height. I do notice "some" fender bottoming on extreme hard bumps, but other
wise work juyst fine. Also Dunlop is owned these days by Goodyear, same tire
over half the cost! I paid $108 a pop from Sams Club, where as same tire w/
Goodyear branding was $244

I run 285/75/r16 bfg AT KOs on my 2000. Had to turn the T-Bars about 3
turns to get the truck to ride as level as possible without a
lumbercart ride. I have no rubbing even at full stuff!
