Default Largest tires for 2.3l, geared factory 4.10

Hey all, going to ask for new tires from my parents for Xmas (long way off I know)

I have the stock p225s on 15" rims

My truck is factory geared at 4.10 so im not worried about gearing

My question is, whats the largest tire I should run (I want 31's) that won't hurt my truck and that will give it an agressive stance.

Also what would look better? A 2" coil spacer lift to level the truck with 31's or a 2" coil spacer with a 2" or 3" block on my leaf springs?

And yes, Im going to buy 4 new rancho shocks for this pig(Or piglette, whatever lol)

OH and PS... What tires should i be looking for on stock rims? Like 31x10.50x15R? Or is that the wrong thing for my rims?

There's a crapload of threads on this, but just to let you know, I just put 30x9.5x15's on my 08 2wd with stock suspension and stock gears, and I love how the truck looks now. Just enough under the wheel wells without rubbing and an aggressive stance too.

I ran 32's with the old 2.3l lima motor which has less HP and had 4.10. It sucked bad on the freeway was fine around town.

Can someone roughly 5'10 stand next to their raised up ranger so I can get an idea on height? Whether its just sitting on bigger tires or 2-3" lift or a combo of the 2.

Id like to get an idea of what itll look like. Tell me how its raised too

Thanks!
