if your truck is a 4x4 yes 33x12.5x15 is fine. been done before a search would have shown you that.. and look in the tire size chart for any questions..

with a 4" superlift on a 3" body you can fit 35x12.5x15 very comfortably, some people have gone bigger but your on your own after that...

what motor gears do you have now..?

if its a 4.10 4.10L with manual you can run 35's fine with a programmer it is recommend you jump up to a 4.56 gearing.. 4.10 is great on 33's and 4.56 is great with 35's if you have an auto 4.56 from the get go after 35's would be a smart idea to get the power back...

right now i just have everything stock with the 4.0 automatic i'm new to all the technical stuff but i am willing to learn everything and anything possible. Its 4 wheel drive also. I think i'm gonna stick with the 33 x 12, i was just curious about the body lift because i wasn't sure if that would interfer with suspension components, like if i needed to adjust the tie rod ends and ect. Thanks again i appricate it very much.
