No, because of the wheels. You may be able to squeeze a 33x15.50 tire on your truck with a 3 inch body lift if you use a 10 inch wide wheel, but that would be a very tight fit and you would have to do some trimming. Also, you can't fit 15 inch wheels on your truck. You need a 16 inch wheel or larger. I would suggest sticking to a 12.50 or 13.50 inch wide tire.

You don't need a leveling kit because your front ride height is adjustable via the preload on the torsion bars. If you are set on running a 15.50 inch wide tire on a 12 inch wide wheel, I'd suggest skipping the body lift and installing the 6 inch suspension lift now. Also, a lot of people have fit 38x15.50 tires on 97-03 4x4's with a 6 inch suspension and 3 inch body lift, but they all used 10 inch wide wheels and it was an extremely tight fit. I'd really suggest sticking with a 10 inch wide wheel.
