Are 285/70r17 to small?

Yes ....but
Yes .... they will look great .... But you probably need to make sure that the backspacing on the wheels is right for your truck .... The wheels I almost ordered are not made w/ backspacing that fits my truck .... they would rub on the break caliper ..... they said I need a 5 or a 12 .... couldnt find any i liked in my price range so II gave up and am keeping the stock wheels and going w/ that same size tire when my stock ones wear out ...... other than that they should be great

I used to run 285-70-17 mt atz tires on my 07 fx4 with 2.5" level. They looked small for sure, not a bad tire size but I would not combine them with a 3" level, they are only 1" taller than oem tires.

i run this size, 2inch lift all around, kinda wish i'd gotten the toyo's in a 34 inch size, but wanted the tires i have. anyway they sometimes look small to me and other times look just right. will i get 33's again? prob go bigger..

I ran them before I even had a level but here's my truck with 285/70R17s and a 2.5" level and 3" replacement block. If you want, I have pictures of them on my truck before the level. I'd suggest going to a bigger tire than that if you're leveling.
In my opinion they looked too small so I went to 35X12.50s and 20x9s.
