you do not have to do anything for them to fit. You can fit up to 315 tire on stock setup.

You should be fine although I have heard this can vary from truck to truck. Some people have noted very slight rubbing with stock 285's. I had no rubbing with the 285's and I had no rubbing when I put on the 315's. I only now have slight rubbing at full steering lock since I leveled the front.
The leveling changes the angles of front end components and causes slight rubbing on the sway bar. This is nothing to worry about.
I say go for it! You will be stoked with the wider tire for sure and will most likely have zero rubbing issues.
When/if you do decide to level your truck make sure you do a search and read all about it before moving forward. It is a fairly easy thing to do but there are certain things you should know.

I have also thought about raising my internat prices but leaving my shop prices as they are. I am fairly certain my local market could not handle the icrease.I could use my shop as an off retail type of market.
