The size tire you listed will fit on stock suspension. I know from experience haha.

Fortunately, aside from the rear suspension setup, there's not all that many differences between the two.

Like the others have said... 285/75's should fit right in there..... You can always do a little bit of torsion bar cranking in the front just to gain a little more room. You can get a good 2 inches, and then to level it out, there are coil spacers for the rear that range from 1 to 3 inches. Cheap to find on Fleabay.

now ya got me thinking a set of keys and coil spacers in the rear and some 34's

something like this ?

The rears look right, but really, you can just crank the stock torsion bars up 2 inches. Less stress on the cv joints and such, than if you go the aftermarket keys I think. Plus it's free.
