285/70/17 BFG AT on Stock Steelies? No lift?

So, I just ordered 5 stock steelies from Les Scwhab (I have the product code for anyone interested). They should be here on Saturday.

Now, I want to run 285/70/17's in a BFG AT tire. I have read posts that say I will need to chop the body mounts, posts that say I will need to lift, and other posts that say stock height and no chop will be okay.

I drive 80 miles a day to an from work and I don't want lift if I don't have to. I do off-road moderately on the weekends. My FJ is otherwise stock.

Have others been able to run this exact setup (I've seen several with the alloy wheels, but couldn't find any with stock steelies) without the chop and without lift?

Thanks for your input.
