correct me If I'm wrong but you can put a standard body lift on it, about 3" then put 1 or 3/4 ton front coils for a 2" then if you want more you can put coil spacers. about a 1" or 2". thats about what 6" or 7" in the front then put either springs in the back or a block. Blocks are cheaper by a lot. that would give you 6 or 7 inches of lift. thats plenty of lift for those big 'ol tires. as stated in above kind of point less. unless you want the look and the extra sidewall cushsion(sp) that a bigger tire gives you. or looking for clearence to haul stuff. the body lift and the spacers would be about all you would need. The spacers would set the truck level then the body lift would give you a 3 inch lift. so you could easily get a 35 inch tire or 31 inch tire and have plenty of room to haul stuff.
