You don't need a lift to fit 285's. Some users have bigger than those on stock rims.

You should get an alignment just to make sure its straight. If its off a little, the bigger tires will wear faster.

I'm due in fo a tire change petty soon too. Also thinking about moving from the stock 265s to 285s or 295s. I'm just wondering though if the difference in size is even noticeable to the naked eye?...

Here's P285's ( or 33's ) on Strogys Adventure H3 stock from the factory and they run real well on the H3 , I think 35's might even fit but might need a slight torsion bar crank ?

Little difference if you are looking at it. It does make a little bit of difference if you look at it really hard. Aggressive tread pattern always looked better to the naked eye anyways.
