Can I go 285/75/16 on an stock Yukon???? Just trying to bring my little Kon to life.... little by little....

IIRC, that should equate to 33" tires. I had 33" tires on a stock 2WD Burban, and they rubbed a little when I went over some dips in the road or if I was flexing, but other than that they fit just fine. Since yours is 4WD you might want to crank the torsion bars just a tad to get the front from rubbing, and maybe 2" blocks in the rear. But 4wd kons and burbans are higher from factory, so you will be fine.

sounds good.... I would love to lift it but it will not be practical for the family and it will not fit in the garage..... as it stands I have maybe less than 10 inches to play with from the truck roof to the cealing.. plus i have to be able to clear the garage door motor.... so I should be fine it looks like I have close to 3 inches to play with in the front ans slightly more in the back.... if not I can always crank the torsion bar.. thanks for the advice,....

Anytime compai!! A slight crank should be enough if even needed and you should be able to clear your garage if you do.

if you are using stock wheels you should not even need to crank it

I will be replacing the rims still not sure with what but leaning towards dc1 by dick cepek 16x8.....I think that is the size...
Do I need to change my keys or the stock ones thigthen up a bit will give me the clearance???? thanks...
Also I would need to change my shocks too right????? or the bilstein hd will do?

I have 285/75/16 tires all the way around on my Yukon, which is slightly more than the stock tire size. Also, my truck is completely stock. Its a 4 Door of the same year, but I have had no problems whatsoever with that tire size. Hope that helps.
