Best Option?

Alright guys, after reading several threads and searching several different times on the forum, I need some help. I have a 2006 4x4XL. I ordered a 2.5 inch level for the front, nothing for the rear. I want to know how tall a tire I can run with the stock wheels. I've been looking at 285-75's and 295-70's. Will either of these clear? Let me know what you guys think. Its a 17in wheel by the way. Thanks for all the help guys. I was gonna post a picture of the truck, but, it says I can't.

ive been told you can clear a 35" tire with a 2.5 level kit as long as its 4wd. i just put 285/65/18 trail grapplers on mine with no level kit, and it doesnt rub. they are 33" Im gonna put on a 2" HBS next week.

35" tires will fit the truck with the 2.5" leveling kit. Its tight and you have to do a little trimming on the bottom of the front fender (not a big deal) but it fits pretty good. If you want to be safe go with 34" tire.

Personally, with a leveling kit I think the best looking option is a 33 inch tire on an aftermarket wheel.
