You can't put a shine on a sneaker....
The more I read about what you have as a starting point, the more I would encourage you to think about what you are doing.
You are going to toss tons of money into a truck that can't do what you want it to do... at least not without jacking up the radiator cap and sliding a new truck under it.
Not that it can't be done... it can, but you could buy a better truck with what it is going to cost you to do it right.
If you had tons of cash, excellent mechanical/electrical/fabrication skills I would say do an engine swap with a 5.0 mustang stick drivetrain. with that amount of power you could turn any size tires you want properly geared.

ive had 33s on it b4 i couldnt believe it fit with a stock somewhat of a lift it has, but i took them down cuz i bought them used and they had like 50% life left so i went and bought new ones but 31s, however when i did have the 33s, on i barely lost any power and it wasnt so bad on gas as i thought it would be. So that is why iam getting that thing lifted with 33s.
