Bigger tires on a 2 wheel drive

Anyone running LT285-75R16 tires on
a 2 wheel drive. Any problems with rubbing , etc?
I have the 1.5" front leveling kit already. Just
looking to fill up the wheel wells a little more.

That's in the future for me too.

I recently added CSS front springs, which are 2" over stock height. The tire store/alignment shop I used, which I've been using for over 20 years, told me I'd have no problem adding a 285.

I got the springs from Coil Spring Specialties ( www.coilsprings.com ). I love the ride, much more superior to the stock ride, firm but comfortable. I went with the stock spring rate, but I believe you can order them with a different rate. Here's a couple of pics:
