Here ya go.. 07 2Dr with leveling kit..

33's fit fine with no lift on stock wheels..If you get a rub on the sway bar at full lock adjust your steering stops..

If you need more examples there are a lot of combinations of lift/tires in the 33" Tire Thread in the Show Off Section of the Show and Tell subforum.

To be honest I think those 305's will fit with the leveling kit..The kit gives you
2" up front.. If those 305's are less than 11" wide I think your good..Again I know you'll have to adjust yor steering stops with a couple of 5/16th washers on each side. Its that or go aftermarket wheels with the correct offset..Or spacers..

I'm real happy with the leveling kit running 33's no rubbing on or off road..

I was (for a short time) running 295-70-17 with 1.5" wheel spacers and a 3/4" front leveling kit. The attached pic was without wheel spacers. Without the wheel spacers the tires would rub at full turn.
