Do I need to do anything else other than remove the crash bars? I don’t need to lift the truck do I?

Thanks in advance for the help!

You do not need to remove the crash bars, should bolt right on

You don’t need to do anything at all.

You only need to remove the crash bars when you go larger than ~34” tires. The picture you posted is the factory 33” (non-Sasquatch) tires.

Need to recalibrate the speedometer， using Forscan.

Thanks all what about the spare? Am I good with the third brake light?

A 285/70/R17 tire should be OK w/o raising the break light. I have it now.

The only thing you will have to do is trim the bumpers on the tailgate that go up against the spare tire because of the extra width of the Balands tire and wheel.
No need to remove crash bars or recalibrate the speedo as the outside diameter of the Badlands 285/70-17 tire is only 3/4" taller.
