Those pro comp's are sweet! Wheels will change the look of your truck. With the 17x9 rims you could fit a wider tire. You should install your leveling kit regardless.

I like those pro comps. It will make your truck stand out. Those 285's are almost a 33" tire. I think you will need the leveling kit.

I am worried it will look goofy before the wheels and tires come in

Here's my truck with the leveling kit installed with stock 18" wheels. This was before I got my 35's. Hope that helps.

I totally understand about the tires, they can get very pricey. I'm paying close to 1400 for a set of 325/65/18 Goodyear duratracs

I have a two wheel drive...before I upgraded to 33" terras on stock wheels, I had the level kit in for a month...the stock wheels and tires will have "TOW" to them. If you think ull be running stock tires for more than a month till after market wheels+tires come in then get an alignment from however installs the leveling kit...if u wanna save the stock tires at all...

With stock wheels and terra grapplers (only pic I have on my phone). I can post another later if u want

4 wheel parts just quoted me 1060$ for bfg ta kos in 285/70/17 sounds like a decent deal (every one seems to swear by these). the wheels are only 125 a wheel. 4 wheel parts are running a special on pro comp wheels buy three get one free but the series I like is not included
