Your sig says you have 3" of lift now. you'll be able to clean 33's fine. You don't need a bl, but if you are willing to get one go ahead and get one and get 35's instead of 33's.

He has an inch over factory in the rear and basically stock in the front.

I'm thinking 32x11.5 because of ride height and the fact the wear wouldn't be too great with a 33x12.5 on a 7 inch wide rim.

Well let's see. Let R=Ride Height. Factory 2wd Edge rear lift block is 2 inches. So you took that out. R-2. You kept the 3 inch block. (R-2) +3=R+1 right?

So now the ride height is one inch taller than factory in the rear.

And a slight torsion bar crank for maybe an inch in the front right?

And if you get a body lift, you could probably fit 35's but that'd be pushing it. 33's would be ideal.

With maxed out t-bars and aal's and a 3" bl you could run 35's, but you'll rub a lot. I'd go with 33's.

33's are the biggest. you can also run with a torsion bar crank and a shackle lift. or you can leave the suspension stock and just use a body lift. or do both and run 34's its all in what you want. just remember the bigger you go the more wear and tear it puts on your truck and it will show up later in its life
