The best option we have to replace a 205/75-14 trailer tire with to increase ground clearance would be a 205/75-15 which is around 1" larger in overall diameter that will result in an increase of around 1/2" in ground clearance. I recommend the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM32395.

Please note, changing wheels and tire won't allow for 2" of lift on pretty much any application. There are things such as bolt pattern and wheel clearance that become issues when going any higher. For example, you have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and the above is the largest wheel you can use with this so you'd have to replace the axle most likely to go higher. The best option for a 2" lift would be the Lippert Components Lift Kit part # LC425750.
