Question tire size help

Can I fit 33" tires on my 95 1500 with no lift?
I'm planning on Yokohama Geolander AT-S 285/75/16s right now if they'll fit..

And how far would you suggest I tighten my torsion bars to level it? As far as I know everything is stock. I recently purchased the truck and have 28" road tires on the front and 31" MTs on the back right now... not sure why the guy who owned it before me did it that way.

if its a 4x4 the all u would need is the torsion bars adjusted 2 in or so, or the tires will rub badly,and it will clear 33s, its what i did on my 92 k1500.

my 95 required no lift for 33" tires... remember when you crank your t-bars..measure from the ground to the fender BFOR you start on a flat level ground...stick the front under some jackstands..if any lift..you'll know need to turn the t-bar bolt a few times..maybe 5? remember to do both sides the same..take truck off jack stands measure again maybe sure they are the same/real close

thanks alot. i'll be sure to get it right the first time lol I dont want to fight to get them even. are those 33"s no lift in your pictures in your profile?

and for tightening the t-bars is that something that i can/should do by hand or with pneumatic? ive got pneumatic but i can imagine it would be difficult to judge the exact number of turns for it. maybe sharpie a line on the socket... hhmm..
