I think your tires will look a little small, I am running 35's with just a leveling kit on my 04 and it looks pretty good..

These trucks come stock (for the most part) with 32s. A 33 or 35 will look great with no lift at all. If the truck came with steel wheels, like mine did, youll notice no difference in mileage or acceleration with 33s and a lighter alloy wheel.

if you go with a 4in lift definatly get 35 or 37s. im going to have 35s on mine on a stock suspention soon. any idea how that will effect my accelaration times? currently im seeing 6.1 0-60 on 33s.
