Can I see some trucks with front Add-a-leafs? Include tire size please!

I've been trying to decide what suspension I want for a long time, I would like to be able to fit 33x12.50x15s. I've Been thinking of getting a 2" lift, but I would rather have my truck be slightly lower than that If possible. Any input appreciated! Pick of my truck below. Thanks!

I would recommend going with new springs instead of add a leafs. I have a 4" lift on my '83 that had add a leafs in the back and it rode awful. Took them out and put some taller blocks in the back to keep it level it and it rides so much better now.
