Here is my 2012 with a 2.5" Skyjacker coil lift with 285/75 r16s just to give you an idea.

I read you can do that with your stock suspension and everything will be fine. With that much lift you'll want to go to 35s or it'll look the same way it is now.

2.5" might make 33's look small too. If you only want 33s I would not go up to 3" of lift. Over 2.5 you start to worry about other things that add to the cost. I have teraflex 2.5 coil lift with 35s and I think it's a great lift.
