With a big lift and tires I wouldn't go for a big cam especially with a 5.3... I've got a comp 212/218 low lift in mine I really like. Turns my 285's just fine but I'm not lifted

richard's combo seems ideal for a 4x4 lifted truck as you need and should want torque to get them heavy wheels/tires going. only change i would consider would be the high lift version since your truck is an 08 and should have 243 or 799 heads which is a plus and which your combo should benefit from....
