Fit 285 70R 17 on stock '09 w/out MOD?

[fastbal25]

New member and still trying to figure things out. I have a '09 Tahoe LT and would like to install 285 70R 17 BFG A/Ts without modifications. I've heard mixed things searching for hours online.... won't fit, will fit, won't rub, will rub, need leveling kit....and so on. Can I get away with the larger tire without mod or will I have to go with a 1.5" front leveling kit or bigger? The smaller the leveling kit the better if needed, still want the stock ride and don't want to overstress the joints/shocks. I had a '07 Silverado 1500 Z71 and installed 285s with no problems or rubbing keeping everything stock... not sure if this is similar. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

:welcome: Going with bigger tires from stock indeed but in my opinion u should be able to install just fine silverado's and tahoe's are about the same thing except one is a pick up truck and the other an SUV but that's about it.
