if its 4x4 you can do 285s or 305s. both are close in diameter (33s) just 305s are wider

Id go ahead and get a leveling kit it will bring the front level with the back EXTREMELY simple to install and cheap.

Then id suggest 285/75/16's which is 33x11.5x16
You can fit this tire without the leveling kit but it would look better with it.

A 305/70/16 (33x12.5x16) will fit with a leveling kit.

Daystar makes leveling kits for your 4x2. With one, a 285/70-17 would be a good size. Without a leveling kit, I'd go with a 265/70-17 (32x10.50) tire.
