Default Leveling Question

Hi all! New to the forum. I have a 2010 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab z71 4x4 and would like to level the front...have seen posts about 2 inch and 2.5 inch leveling kits. which one would level the truck? Also, the stock tires are 265 65 18's. I would like to go to a bigger tire and keep the z71 wheels. Saw a similar truck that had 305 65 18's. Does anyone know if there would be a rubbing issue or any other issue with a leveling kit? Thanks in advance.

the 2010's dont have torsion bars they are coil overs... and if you do a 2.5" spacer in the front then you can easily fit a 305 65 18 tire, i have seen one at work before and im not sure if he even lifted it, my friend at work has a 2008 sierra 4x4 woth 35 1250 20's and his still rubs a little bit when you turn the wheel all the way... if you want a bad *** all terrain that is quite and does amazing off road get the bfg all terrain, you will love them i promise you!
