tire size question

hey guys just bought a 95 f-150 XLT 5.0L that has a 2inch body lift with 33's and right now i need to get some new tires on the truck but like everybody knows that the 302 can barely turn 33's effectively. so i am thinking about going to a 31 inch tire but i was wondering how big of a difference it would look on the truck because i really like the way the 33's look just can afford the mileage and roughness they are putting on my stock engine.

How much bigger than stock are 33's? Maybe u can put some 32's on there.Or find a tire that is lighter,to help the power.
