Default Again ... Tire Size!

Hi -
Sorry to beat a dead horse to death, but I need a little clarification on tire size. Being older and also a little naive about tires and trucks, please be considerate. Just purchased a used 2007 Dakota quad cab (two wheel drive, 3.7) and want to increase tire size (height) as much as possible, to get a little (I know ... very little) more height. Want to go with BFG All-Terrain or Michelin AT2, but am not clear (even after browsing forums) exactly what size I can use w/o rubbing or installing a lift kit or leveling kit. Currently have stock 245x70x16 Goodyear Wranglers.
THANX!

From What I gather 265/75/16 are the biggest we can fit under our stock suspension.
I have the Trailmaster level kit and will be purchasing 265/75's next weekend. I will be able to let you know from First hand experience then.

I had 265/75 R16 on my 06 without a lift and they didnt rub. I have a base model 06 ST, so it also originally had the 245/70's on the painted 16 inch wheels.

Thanx to Jadman & Monkeywrench4000 ... that's the info I was hoping for. A little more tire to fill the wheel well and a little aggression to help pull my flats boat out of the water.
