Default How big of a tire can i fit?

Hi all,
I just bought a 2001 Ram 1500 4x4. I plan on getting the 2" leveling kit for the front. What is the biggest tire i can fit without having any major problems with clearance?

i shoved, and I mean shoved, a set of 35X12.5's in my rig with no lift, just stiffer shocks which only appear to give it about a half an inch, so 33X12.5's should be fine, they might rub slightly with a tight turn with pressure on one side, so maybe if your going over a rock and trying to turn you might get a little rub, but it shouldnt be bad. but the 35X12.5's I couldnt even turn the wheel 1/3 of the way without rub lol.
