Yes they will. I have Procomp All Terrains in that size on my 2004 4x4 Dakota. The Procomps replace the OEM tires that were 265/70-16.
Raised the front an inch with the torsion rod adjusters just to be safe. No rubbing in 7500 miles.

Well. You could loosen all the bumper attaching bolts, slide the bumper forward enough for tire clearance, then tighten up the bolts.

My 02 QC 4x4 came with the 265/75/16s (they are the optional tire).

torsion bar adjusters are on the torsion bar cross member.... turn both bolts equal turns clock-wise with an impact gun or long breaker bar... or just take hack saw blade and trim the plastic peice till they clear...

Dan - since your truck is a 4x4 it sits higher than a 2WD...correct? Will the 265/75's work on a 2WD with no modifications? I have an '03 QuadCab 2WD with the 16" x 8" wheels and I want to upsize from the 255/70's I have now.

I don't think they will fit on the 2wd without modification. The 2wd and 4wd are different ride heights. The 05-07 are the same ride height.

I can take a picture of full turn on my truck if you want, it's close to rubbing. during turns on rough terrain (some of the forestry service roads i travel on to fish are gravel and very rough/bumpy/potholes).
