Default Leveling Kit advice needed

Ok so I've spent countless hours researching and reading and measuring and going crazy trying to find out what to do for my truck.

I have a 2010 XLT 4WD with stock 20" and I'm wanting to put some Cooper Discovery STT 35x12.5/20 without rubbing!

I'm planning on putting a 2.5" front and 1" rear leveling kit on. Has anyone had experience with this combination of tire brand, size and leveling kit together? I know plenty of you have done 2" kits with 295/60R20 Trail Grapplers but I'm really wanting the STT instead.

Any advice here will help and pics would be even better!!! Thanks in advance!

Too wide. You need a tire about 11.5" wide.

Like minor rubbing when in full lock or more serious rubbing? I could go with a Nitto Trail Grappler at 295/60R20 which is only 12.13 wide.

The 295's should work. I know there's a lot of people running 305 with minor rubbing

I think I'll just go with the Nittos then. Too bad shipping to Alaska is over $1,000!!!!...I can work around that though lol

I had 295/65/20 nitto trail grapplers which were about 11.5" wide and they were very close to touching my spindles. And at full lock, they rubbed like crazy!!! Stock 20"s BTW.
