Jump over to the "Raised Dakotas" message board or just do a search for tires, body lifts, etc... there is more information on those two subjects than you will ever need.

In the mean time, here's a hint: 3" lift will get you 33x12.50 tires (with slight rubbing in some situations). Mileage will be affected a little. 3.92 are pretty good. However, I'd love to upgrade to 4.10's or lower -- right now I'm only running 3.55's.

jmac,
You can run 33X12.5s with 3.92's being more than low enough.

33x12.5 if you replace your rims at the same time like most have done get a 8" rim if you go any wider your going to rub alot. 3.55s work 3.92 are what youd really want to run.
