I believe they recommend 33 to 34 inch tires with that lift. 295/70/17

35s with an aftermarket front bumper and flare trim for no rubbing. Leave it stock and you might have slight rubbing but nothing major.

Without increased bumpstops or trimmed flares, you WILL rub really bad offroad when disconnected with only a 2" lift.

An 11.5" wide tire is pretty much as wide as you can go without wheel spacers. Any wider and you run the danger of rubbing either the rear control arms and/or the rear swaybar. Also if the rear swaybar links are too long because of the lift they might hit your rims. There is a way around this if you are interested, click on the 'no spacers' link in my signature.
