Kimble,

The 6.70x15s are in the range of 28.5 to 29.0" tall, and the Toyo 215x85x16 is listed at 30.7"
Also, the 7.0x17.5 is maybe in the range 32 to 33" tall, an estimate; this is the tire GM used for max GVW option.

Interest is to get my ride height close to stock or an inch or 2 taller, while apart and easier to change now, if needed. Want to look stockish like yours. The front springs were stock, however, the rears were modified with different leafs added. Fronts were rebuilt by local spring company,,and rears are being replaced with originals from Chris- Gen III.

Right now my "M" step height is about 29", with out engine/ trans and body. Measured to bottom of door gasket. My tires at 32.2" diameter add height to, about 1 1/2" over stock tires used for factory "step height". So stock tires takes it down to 27.5". Should be close to stock ride height when all done.
