I just picked this truck up the other night, and have been brainstorming ideas nonstop. I want to tint it out(35% front, and 0% rear). I was thinking a 3" body lift, 33" tires, and a flow master exhaust kit. Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas, I'd appreciate them.
Here's some pictures as the truck sits now.

I'm a huge fan of stock suspension and factory ride height. You didn't give us much to go on though. Great lookin' truck dude!

Real nice truck. I have a 92 with a 3 inch body lift, to be honest with you I didnt like it. If you are dead set on lifting it go with a suspension lift. My truck has the 5.0 with 355 gears and ive run 33 on it before. It killed the power on it. I took the body lift off, drop the tire to a 31 and I absolutly love driving it. I would have kept the 33s and went with a suspension lift but at the time I did not have the money to change the gears to. This is just my personal opinion and experience. Good luck and keep us updated.

Yep, not a fan of body lifts either...
Manual hubs? I cant tell from the pic. That would be the first thing I would do if you drive it a lot on the street.
If you really want 33x12.5, I would go with a 1.5 leveling kit. As mentioned, though, you will lose power. I have 31" BFG AT's and that '"set-up" works well.

I moved up to 31/10.50's w/ the stock 3.55's, I personally wouldn't go any taller because as folks stated, torque wil go bye bye w/o gear change. Gear change is very expensive, especially on a 4x4.
Mine has been converted Warn premium manual hubs. Good mod like suggested. Not too expensive.
Goos looking truck, I like that front bumper. Tow hooks in there?
