Default Biggest tires?

I recently put 20x9 American outlaws on my 4th gen 1500 and I'm getting a 2 inch leveling kit and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what's the tallest and widest tire I can get without rubbing. People have been telling me 35's will fit and others are saying 34's won't come close to fitting. I need some help guys

I also have a 2" leveling kit and 20 x 9" wheels and my 35's fit beautifully with no rubbing. I have a 2014 1500 4x4. You should be ok.

I use them for when I tow my trailer, it weighs 8,000 lbs fully loaded so it really makes the rear of my truck squat down. With the air bags it levels the load and really makes a difference in handling when towing. The kit only cost $75 on Amazon and took me and my Dad about an hour to install.
