I think a 285x70x17 with a 2 inch level ought to fit. With a 2-1/2" maybe a 295x70x17. These tires will fit on the OEM wheels so you don't have to spend for aftermarket and with them more chances not to rub.

265/70 or 265/75 you should be good with. had a buddy that had the same issue and he tried putting 285s on with aftermarket torsion keys and it rubbed really bad. I would advise against this due to the angle of the control arms and the amount of strain this puts on ball joints and other front end parts. Best advice is to maybe level it and maybe add a small block in the rear to give it a 4wd stance and go with the 265/75. Either way, best of luck!
