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.
