I'd look around for more pictures of examples of what you want before buying. HA to my knowledge has wide axles, which means -12 is going to be more than most people's definition of "a little" poke. I'm at +6 on 315s (which would be equivalent to -9 on 285s) and it's a little more poke than i would like which is why i put XR fender flare extensions on mine.
No only rubicon and sport with max tow package have the wide axles.

I have a call into the Service Manager at the dealership I bought it from just to confirm with him that adding the spacer lift won't do anything to the suspension warranty. I keep reading conflicting posts on that.

Unless the spacers are what causes an issue down the road, I don't see how they can void a warranty.

You might keep yours eyes open for some Mojave AT3 take off wheels and tires. Will give you a little more poke and the bigger tires. The good thing is they are generally pretty well priced. I think I sold mine for $1100 and all you need to do is put them on your truck. Good Luck. BTW I run the Load range E Wildpeaks and I like them so much that is what I went with for my 35s. The stock tires and wheels on my Mojave did not give me the poke I was looking for, so I ended up with 12.5 wide tires and a rim that has an offset of +12 instead of the +37 the Mojave wheels have.

I did the TeraFlex leveling kit and also changed to Bilstein shocks. Chose different wheels and added Toyo AT3's at 35*11.5r17's, which are a C rated tire. Complete change in ride and drive. Lots of choices out there, good luck.

What tire pressure do you run? I am trying to figure out if I do change my wheels and tires what pressure I will need. Some of these tire pressure calculators are showing if I go from the factory 275/55R20 to a 285/70R17 the pressure should go to 26-28 PSI.

My dilemma is what to do for the wheels and tires. Currently it has 20 inch wheels. Tires measure 31.8 inches and are Falken Wildpeak AT3 that the dealership put on to replace defective shitty factory Bridgestone Duelers. I really want to go with 17 inch wheels and 33 inch tires that have just a little poke to them (so -12 offset?).

The challenge I am seeing is most 33 inch tires are coming in E rated at Discount Tire. Plus I am unsure what PSI to run the new tires at.
Quick, easy, inexpensive, and pretty much guaranteed to work is a set of Mojave take offs. The factory Falkens were pretty reasonable in their manners and driveability. While I’ve upgraded to 315s on AEV Borah’s, I’d have stayed with the OEM’s without a problem.

I'm running 35psi for my highway driving. It rides pretty smooth a that. In fact that's what the dealer and Discount Tire do whenever I get a rotation done.
