What tires will fit best?!

Laidback, I don't think your front springs are lacking support. Your back springs just look really arched. Which rear springs are those? It doesn't look that bad as it is and it looks like there's plenty of height on the front. Maybe the back will settle more, and it should work well loaded up with more gear. Also, no reason not to hit the trails with stock tires. I like to off-road with 235/75 and highway tread.
I have the OME 50mm light packs on the front and have a winch as well. I find there's plenty of height on the front. I had to put add-a-leaves and shackles on the back to level it out.
Yes, the 30x9.50 is a slight jump up in size from the 235/75.

I'm new here, but I do know how to convert the millimeters to inches. So when you're looking at 235/75/15 or anything else you should know that the 235 stands for the width of the tires in millimeters and the 75 stands for the aspect ratio of the sidewall in comparison to the width. That means that the sidewall height is 75% of the width. And of course everyone knows what the 15 stands for.
So basically if you divide 235 by 25.4 it equals 9.25" and that's the width in inches. Then if you go on and go 235x0.75 you get 176.25 which is the side wall in millimeters. (0.75 because its a percentage) You then divide 176.25 by 25.4 and you get 6.94" which is your side wall in inches. Then multiply that by 2 which equals 13.88" add 13.88" to the 15" rim height and you get 28.88.
So basically a 235/75/15 is a 29"x9.25" tire.
If someone can use this sweet if not that's cool.
