First off all you need is a leveling kit not a body lift and then you can get up to 35" tires on the truck. I would install 295/70's because you get a load range E tire and about 34.5" in height.

then it would end up being about the same. Put on a 3" leveling kit on the front of the truck and maybe a 1" rear block or add-a-leaf on the rear and go with 35" tires and that is what you would be close to ending up with.

I gained about 4" from my kit and 285/65 tires so you should be close to the 5" you want. Plus the leveling kit is cheaper and would give you a better ride then the body lift.
