With two inches up front you can have 33s with no problem.

Well with the 3 inch body lift it seems like it would work in theory, but since you are goin spindle you do have to option of adding blocks to the rear and spacers up front if a little more clearance is needed. I would say go for it but since i havent done it myself I cant just say jump. I have 35's stuffed under a stock 4x4 with a little trimming and offset 16x10 inch wheels and torsion bars turned up about halfway. I would say wait on someone from this site to step up that has done it or search for a lifted 2x4 thread with pics and check the specs they have listed for their vehicles.
