I really like the look and offroad clearance of 35's -- but if I ran mostly street and unrutted dirt or sand I might consider 33's.
I don't know that there is a "right" answer -- it's just what you want. There will be "downsides" either way -- both are large enough to increase wear, the 35's do look tougher, but the 33's will probably be kinder to your wallet in many ways.
It's all in what you want and what you're willing to put up with...

where is a good place to get some tires and what are the major downsides of having the larger tire, i have always gotten bad gas milage no matter what(Even when puulnig a trailor) i get hte same milage no matter what ,so with that out of mind , i am still trying to decide , another main concern is the clearance problems for the 35 , what all would have to be done to run those.

still, have not decided what to use i am leaning towards the 35 , but am very much concerned that they may not fit, have never lifted a truck before, any more help or ideas would be great , right now i have the stick 16 inch rims and 25/70/16s on and i have about 3 to 4 inches of clearence at the tightest point , thats why i am thinking the 35s will fit fine, alos i have lifted my torsion bars a bit

Do you have a reg. cab or ext. cab? In my opinion, 33's look better on reg. cabs and 35's look better on ext. cabs. I would prefere 33's to the 32's I currently have, but I only had a t-bar crank when I got my 32's. A suspension lift, like firefighterjosh stated, looks better with 35's.
