5.13's without a doubt, what else you will need depends on which lift you get, and how complete it is. A 4" lift will need track bars, control arms, swaybar links, drive shafts.

Then you should probably go 2.5" coil spacer lift and a 1" body lift. This will clear 35"s and not get too expensive !!

There was a write up earlier this month on an inexpensive kit that will get you where you want to go. Budget minded without regrets as what I would refer to it as.

As far as gearing goes, w/ a 6 speed its whatever you can live with.
But an auto is a 4.88 minimum!!! 5.13's are ideal w/ 35's.

... But the manual should have at least a 4.10.
