Just get the 1.5"(i also think they make a 2.5", but i might be wrong)
You should have enough room to run 33s with a 1.5" lift..most people with these trucks can fit 33s without lift.
Also they do make a spindle lift, but its more expensive than the $80 you would pay for the spacers.

dont spindle lift it, it messes up the geometry of the suspension and messes stuff up, i did it and regret it a lot, it cost me a lot of money, and adding too large of spacers will have the same effect i believe, save up and do it right
