What is the largest (need dimensions) mud tire I can put on stock rims if any, and what size tire can I put on a 2in lift? Kinda new to this so need help. Thanks

I believe 31" Tires would look pretty good.

stock 7" rim? prolly 31x1050s or 33,34 x1050.. but at 33 and up a 10.50 wide tire looks stupid imo.

2" lift and no trimming? 30's. 31s will rub the c/a's alittle with out back spaced wheels but will still fit.

My vote is for this. I have 31s muds on 2" and get some rubbing on LCAs, and i have aftermarket rims with 4" backspacing.

31x10.50s are fine on stock wheels just a bit of LCA rub at lock.

You can go 32's with 4.5" (stock) back spacing. 8.5-10.5 wide.

Extend your bumps, and steering stops.

31s will work well. Now what kinda tires are you looking at? Is this a DD/street ride? I have the Goodyear Duratracs, they are sorta a hybrid MT/AT tire and the drive great on the road and do just as well in the mud as my buddies BFG KM2s. There are a good price too.
