you will loose maybe a second ina race vs the stock 29s. But who the hell is really caring too much about power having a 3.0 anyways? 1 or 2 hp couldnt mean less to me w/ this engine. So get the tires, cuz they will make ur truck look oh so much better and the [handling]performance on and off-road will be ten fold over stock.

You're also geared low, so not the end of discussion.
It's not always the engine that matters when it comes to turning tires. As long as you're geared correctly front/rear you could sortof turn anything. As my dad always says something along the lines of "give me a place to stand and i will move the earth" which is a quote from Archimede's, with things such as pivot points and gearing you can do anything.
So 034x4 has 38s and he is geared low on his truck. He matched the gearing correctly so his truck will be much like stock. But if you currently have 3.73 gears and put 32s on, you should notice it bogged down a lil. If you have 4.10 gears stock, you shouldn't really have much change at all..
I don't think the 3.0 is actually that slow, at least not for me. It's more like..in the v6 world its small; compared to the 4 cylinder its great.

will it be "fine" with 31"-33" tires? sure. 31"s wasn't so bad.
but 33"s will bog it down some (even with 4.10s). i'll run about ~2400 rpms doin ~70mph down the highway and usually avg about 15mpg and that's with a bamachips tuner, ssd intake and catback exhaust.
but regardless, i wanted the benefits of the 33"s and have to deal with the drawbacks
