Will this tyre size be ok with a 2" add a leaf lift on stock rims.
Is 205/70 basically the same as the stock 195/80

205/70 = 26x8
195/80 = 27x7.7

So they are smaller but wider, not a worthwhile swap IMO

235/75R15 = 28.9"x9.3" so yes should easily fit with 2" lift

You could almost get away with 235/75/15 without a lift couldn't you? You'd get some rubbage on lock so you'd need to do something about that.

I run 235/75r15, I have a calmini 3.5" lift, its just right for the tyre size with no rubbing

I have 235x75r15 Kumho KL-71s on standard wheels... with about 2.5-3" lift, and wheel spacers.

I wouldn't really recommend it without wheel spacers, you will probably rub your springs on full lock

I think 3-3.5" lift is best with them as you have some room for articulation!
