I didn't go much taller but went to a 305/55/20 tire with that leveling kit. Had to use 1/4" wheel spacers so it wouldn't rub the upper ball joint. Spacers were cheap from Mopac

Tires without Fender Flares (stuck out a bit further than the fenders)

i have 34x11r20 (275/65r20) on my ram with a 2.5 in the front and a 1.5 in the rear.

the issue is the width when you get wider than stock, rub your hand across the inside of the tire at the top, your hand barely fits between the tire and the upper control arm. You need to run spacers or a different offset wheel to go wider.

with spacers a 35x12.5r20 tire will fit for you.

35s will fit but IMO look to big with just a leveling kit. Also will throw your Speedo off quite a bit going that size. Ive found just going to the 305/55/20 made my mileage drop too

Had a 3" level in the front and 1.5 in the rear. Ran 35 12 20 Nitro trails w/ +20 rockstars and rubbed only on my front mud flaps but was tight. Ended up with 6" procomp and 37s in the end due to the leveling kit destroying my front end.
