Hi FrenchSSGTMike, did you get the setup installed? If so, how did you fair out? I’ll be doing the same and I was wondering if there was any rubbing?
I did and it worked perfectly (traded it in, but might get another one....lol)

This tire size comparison is fantastic, nice find thank you!!!
Problem is KO2s only come in load range E (10 ply equivilent) in this size 275/70/17. To get load range C (6 ply) you need 285/70/17.

Anybody with a 6 speed manual and 3.45 gears done the swap to 33`s? Curious about impacts to driveability and fuel efficiency. I'll be moving to 33`s when my factory AT`s wear out. Definitely won't do 35`s without a gear swap since most of my miles are highway.

I know this is a late reply, but I have the 6 speed and 3.45 gears on 285/70r17s (33”). It is similar to stock, with 6th gear basically a 70+mph gear on flat terrain. I found that was the case with the stock tires too though. I will likely go to 35” next, but before that I will regear, mostly for the slower crawl speed when off-road and in 4-Lo.
