If you already have changed to MOOG's then the clearance for the 285x75x16's will be tight.

Just make sure to do regular checks for wear and stress, loose bolts and stuff and you will be ok.

I have almost 20k on mine and it is doing well. Lots of flexing and long trips, no problems.

I cranked mine to get a total of 4" out of it and added leafs in the back.

Good luck!
