Default lift

a 6 in lift works wonders on those trucks. you could go body lift and clear 35's without much problem. 33's should fit on a 4x4 and rub lil cept when turned in all the way. Body lift is alot cheaper( price and install) but you have to move lines and the radiator, steering shaft , and the thing I didn't like about the body lift was the way it made the shifter hard to get too for the 4x4. I have a body on my expedition ( on when I got it) but it's nice cause it gives more room to work under the truck, and around the motor... and I have a turn dial 4x4... not shifter. but the rad was lowered to stay inline with the engine fan, and the shroud had to be cut also.
