how big of a tire can you run with a 2.5 leveling kit

From what I have been told by people on this and other forums as well as a couple tire shops i asked 33" will fit the truck no lift. So im thinking 2.5" level lift a 34" should fit no problem maybe even a 35".
33's should fit no problem with a 2.5" leveling kit. I "believe" there are several members on here running 35" as well on 4th generation Rams. I'd bet they'll chime in. I ran 35" on my 05', with a leveling kit.
I had. A leveling kit and put 35 before no prob until I realized I had the death wobble in 4x4. Just make sure u have the right offset on ur rims so ur tires don't rub inside.
I'm not a tire expert but I think our stock Goodyear are 33 inch.
Sorry I'm too lazy to post a pic,look in my info and check a link I have to cardomain

i have 265 70 17's on it for some reason which are a 31" tire looks like plenty of room for 33's with the 2.5 in leveling kit and air helper bags in the back just wondering if it worth going a bit bigger and run a 34/35". i am also aware that every vehicle is slightly different so results vary.

I had a 2.5 inch leveling kit and I ran 34's. I had it on for 20k and I developed the "Wobble", I also had issue's with the tires wearing bad. The outsides of the tires wore out real fast. Spent $1400 bucks on tires that after 20k where in very bad shape, when I sold them I could only get 400 bucks for them. I thought I wasn't going to have any problems and I covered all of the basis, I had the dealer install the kit and I had it aligned three times in 20k miles. I still ended up with issues. I have taken it all off all of the issue's are gone. My current tires are wearing very well and I haven't had to align the truck since I put the new tires on. I want to put another lift on but fo now it is going to have to wait, I want to put the Kore lift kit on it and put 35's on 17's this time. So for now I am saving for a better kit!

if you have wobble its because something is either worn, out of alignment or has the wrong angles or geometry. i have experienced no wobble with the 31's and the 2.5" front spacers in place (even not aligned its still good). think i will stick to a 33 inch tire and i'll keep the weight down (no 10 ply tires.) or go with a toyo 285 75 17 6 ply measures 34.1" 11.5 overall width

P.S The tires I ran where 275/65/20, which is 34.1x11x20.
