IMO, 33's on stock wheels will look really small with a body lift. Heck, odds are your stock tires were 32's (265/70-17). I have pics in my gallary with a 3 inch body lift with 33's and 35's on 16x10 inch wheels.

285-70-17's with 3" BL




315-75-16's

35's are perfect for this BL.

I would say 35's with the BL, and maybe crank the bars slightly just to level it out.

Jump N - How do you hold your bike in the truck standing up? Im tired of laying mine down and risking it getting slammed around if I have to slam the brakes or something.

don't forget about the re-gear if your budget will allow it

i agree with terejame, but you should be ok with 35's and the 5.4 for a little while till you can save up for some.

also, you will need a programmer to recalibrate your speedo.
