01 2wd leveling kits?

I have an 01 2wd screw and I'm trying to fit some Mickey Thompson 285/70/17 MTZ Radials on it. The only leveling kit I can find for the 01 2wd is a Daystar 1.5" coil spacer and I dont think that will be enough to get those tires under there.
Any suggestions on what to do without going with a body or suspension lift although that may be my only option?

this is a similar thread. and i have installed the daystar kit and can now fit 285/75 R16 which are 32.8" tall and 11.2" wide is almost the same size as the 285/70 R17 which are 32.7" tall and 11.2" wide so the answer would be the daystar 1.5" kit is very cheap and easy to install and you will be able to fit these tires

the daystars will give you closer to 2"s but will settle to about the advetised 1.5"s. If your using stock wheels this should be enough to fit them. other options are a true 2" lift spring but they can tend to be stiff. Anything over 2"s of spring lift and youll need new UCA's. yet another option is a spindle lift for 3"s
