Somewhat less likely to rub at the pinch weld, but backspacing, wheel width, and tire diameter are the biggest factors, except for really wide knobby M/Ts.
I also looked at those ... and they are a better fit for the stock 17s, (for anyone that wants to keep their stockers). The Toyo A/T 34s are heavier though. The Nittos are 61 lbs. and the Toyos are 67 lbs. so you might feel the difference in acceleration and about 1/2 mpg hit at the pump ... compared to the Nittos, (closer to 1.5 to 2 mpg compared to stock). On the positive side they have a 3-ply side-wall, but both are E-rated. If you don't have BT or OR gears, stick to a 33.
Btw, here's a pic of my Titan when it was 2" leveled, (with coilovers), and the aftermarket, 32.8" BFG AT KO LT285/70/17 58 lbs. tires. Looks well balance for a 2" lift, IMO, and only cost me 1 mpg over the stock 44 lbs. tires.
Another good choice for a level kit is the 33.2" LT295/70/17 Nitto TGs, that loufish is running. Better fit for a 2" level kit IMO.
