Tire size increase and level question

[Steven Strong]

I have a 2011 1500 2wd stock it has 265/70r17 31.5x10.43 tires no level I am wanting to add a 1 inch level on it will this allow me to fit 285/70r17 32.7x11.22 tires on my 2wd with stock rims which are 17x8?

2015 ram 1500 with 20s running 33x21.5 it only rubs at full lock in reverse with no level or lift. 100% stock.

I'm running 285/70r17" with Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 10 plies and 2 1/4" front level with plenty of clearance. Rebels come stock with same size rims and tires with plenty of clearance. You will be okay.

Same, I'm certain you can run those tires.

I don't have first hand experience with the 2wd suspension but on my 4wd suspension using stock Ram 17x8" wheels the 285/70r17 clear the ball joint by only a few millimeters. It's enough clearance that they never rub (no paint rubbed off the UCA) so there is no problem - clear is clear. I'm guessing you'll be fine too but take a look at your ball joint clearance anyway to be sure.
