Default Possible tire sizes?

Have an 03 XLT 4x4 on 17"s. What's the tallest tire I can fit with a 2" leveling kit and the tallest without? I'm currently running 275s

Thanks Frank

I'm not sure about a leveling kit, but you'll see a lot of people who just crank their torsion bars and fit 35s in there.

I thought about cranking the torsion bars but I like the idea more of a leveling kit. I want to put something like 32" or 33"

Cranking the T-bars is leveling the truck. The only difference between that and a leveling kit, is the kit comes with a 1" block for the rear. The front relies on cranking T-bars.

You're already running 32-33s unless they are like 275/60 or something. 275 relates to the width. The second number is the ratio of width to height but easier to think of as sidewall height.
