Default Lift question 03 screw 2wd

I'd like to get some advice about what I'd need to lift my 03 screw 2wd.

I'd like to get 33's on my truck with 20s but I kmow I'd need a lift. How big of a lift would I need to accomplish this? I would prefer that they don't look stuffed and tight under the wheel well but more of a comfortable look without too much wheel well showing if that makes sense? Also with a leveled look!

Any help wouLd be greatly appreciated!

Nothing, just get some 33's and stuff them in there. They kinda fit fine. Just trim your fender a bit.

But really, to do it properly, get some 3" spindles, and throw in some 2" coil spacers. 4" blocks for the rear. Regear the rear diff or your truck will suck at any speed. And new offset rims, or the 33's will rub on the frame.

So like 500 for the lift, 500 for new rims, another 500 for the regear and another 1000 for the tires. So like easy 2500 you can do this for.

Awesome thank you! do you have any recommendations as far as the lift goes in terms of brand or should I buy all the pieces separately?

It shouldn't look stuffed with the spindles. If you didn't do spindles it would look stuffed.
