Anyone run a 285/70/18?

Lifting a 100 series does not change any suspension geometry. A tire that clears at full bump, full droop, and full lock will clear regardless of the shock length or torsion bar spring rate. The lifts on the 100’s do not change kinematics at all... your axle paths are identical to a non lifted rig. I’m saying they’ll rub either way, lifted or not, that’s why no one runs those tire sizes unless they are doing body lifts or they just accept the rubbing (which is fine for most of us).

I’m actually curious, got links where someone cut fenders on a 100? i’ve seen lots of 80’s but no 100’s with cut fenders
In regards to his question, my answer, answered that. It's the same reason people started lifting trucks decades ago. To fit larger tires or modify the suspension to suit their needs better. You are always giving pompous remarks for questions on this forum.

No one even divulged into the physics of the suspension. He asked a simple question, I gave a simple answer.

There are numerous people running those size tires on here now, accepting the trade offs that come with them and not installing a body lift.

There is one board member running 37's, that has done a decent amount of trimming.

If you'll do a little back ground knowledge, 98% of the lift kits on the market for (very broad, I know) most vehicles include some sort of bump stop extension, to prevent damage to their fenders with them new fancy big tires they just stuffed under there.

We just happen to drive a very niche market vehicle that if when we did in fact install a aftermarket suspension component, or components to change the ride height to fit larger tires, one of those being a bump stop extension are already miniscuel amount of front wheel travel would be gone.
