Default bigger tires with out lift

i have a chevy 2012 3500 SW and i would like to increase my tire size with out a lift. Im avoiding a lift bc i pull and i have came close to setting the neck of the trailer on the bed when going off road. I plan on putting a flat bed on the rear but would like the great tire size first. Stock is 265,70,18. What can i do?

A 33x12.50 Is = To A 318/60/18 the closest you could getr to a 33x12.50 with 18inch rims is 295/70R18 i would recommend Nitto Terra Grappler Tires $289.99 Each (Nitto Terra Grappler All Terrain 4x4 truck tires are designed for light trucks and SUVs. Designed with a balanced void ratio for excellent on or off-road traction, these off-road truck tires are mud and snow rated for all-season performance) http://www.4wheelparts.com/Tires/LT2..._pn=NIT201-130

I'd stick with a 285/70/17. It's like a 32.8" tire.
