Just to be the devil’s advocate, why add lift? Fresh springs and 33” tires give a nice stance but keep it easy to get in and out. Even so, I added auxiliary steps so my wife would tear off the GB door scrambling inside.

Look for wheels with a 4” back space as that allows room to clear the front brake calipers. With 12” width tires you’ll probably have to go with at least 8” wheel width. Some guys have mounted 33 x 10.5 tires on 6” steel wheels.
Thanks for the information.

It looks like there's enough for the what minimal lift I'm going with.

I just wanted a bit higher lift than stock, but didn't wish to go 4", or 6".

I may start with the 8" Rally Wheels I already have, but those steelies….

Thanks again, Pat
