315/70R17

Im due for new tires. The factory 265's look rediculiously small in the wheel wells. I want to go a bit bigger, make the truck look more balanced, you know what I mean. Does anyone now if 315/70R17's will fit under the stock suspension or will I need the 2" leveling kit. I would love to use 305's but there is just not that many of them out there. If anyone has a pic they are willing to post of their truck with 285's, 305's and 315's that would be awesome.

The 315 70 17's will fit but will also rub the corner of the front skirt and the back of the wheel well plastic, even if it's a 4x4. The leveling kit will help but on my truck I still had to trim the front skirt with a 4" lift installed.
