New tire size question

[John Dell]

So I am picking up my 2017 GMC SLT double cab gas engine with 18" wheels tomorrow. I want to raise the front, much like everyone else here, about 2". When I get to the height I want I will see if I need new UCA's. I see a lot of people here putting on 295/70/18 tires with good luck. It is about 34.6" tall. I am looking at 285/75/18 tires, they are about 35.1" tall. Has anyone tried this. Anyone with the 295's feel it is so close anywhere like hitting bumps where the tire could be up closer to the truck , think this is pushing it? This tire is a bit narrower but taller. It is only a 1/4" on each side of the tire but sometimes that is a lot. Just wondering. Thanks.

I run 35's with a 2" level on the front with no issues (turned up factory keys)

I would like those same sized tires.. But guessing with the snow blade up front, I could experience some rubbing.
