To give you an idea most of us run 37's with a 6" lift if not 35's. Wish I had some pics on 33's so you could get an idea, but someone will. Here is a bump for you.

I have a 6" Skyjacker lift, which in the front sits more like a 5". Tires are 36".

By the way, if you're considering a lift... don't get a Skyjacker. I hate the rough ride on my truck. Wish I had Deaver springs.

Here is my truck with a 4.5" lift when I had 33" BFG ATs on it. They aren't great pictures but you get the idea.

Unless you are planning on running bigger tires down the road I'd just go with a leveling kit. You get to retain he stock ride and save those few hundred dollars for something else! But by no means am I against lifts, they look great!

A 6" lift with 33's will look corny. A leveled truck with 33's looks great.

when I bought my truck it had 33's with a leveling kit. It looked pretty good, but it didn't take long at all for me to go bigger. In my opinion....if you go with 6 inch lift, you will be buying tires VERY soon. Before ya lift it, make the decision if you want to upsize tires or not. It won't look right, and you'll most likely regret it.
