Question on tire size???

Hey guys need some help. I'm running a 01 crew dually with the stock
235x85x16. I have a 2" leveling kit with the shackels on the front leaf springs.
Can I put bigger tires just on the front. The 2" kit is a little shy to level it out.
What size can I put on??Need another 1" or so. Story of my life LOL
Thanks for any help

You really shouldn't go any bigger if it's 4 wheel drive. If it's 2WD then no problem as long as you don't get too wide on the stock rim.

tires??

Thanks for the help. It is a 4x4 I wasn't sure if I could change just the fronts to a bigger size or not. Tires are not matched so the fronts are Goodyears which are more like a summer tread, which really sucked in winter. So I was thinking changing them out and wanted to go bigger at the same time if I could.

ABS requires all tires to be the same diameter, 4X4 or 4X2.

Im running 305/70 Swamper SSR's and 34x10.5 TLB's in the back. They arent exactly the right size but as long as im in the dirt it dont matter, on the pavement it binds up only when I turn.
