Two very important questions: what size tire do you want to run? And how much are you looking to spend? That will narrow down the proper kit for you.

I would choose a proper lift kit that drops the lower a arms down and front diff, if you are 4wd, and uses spindles to make up the extra distance between the upper and lower a-arms. Any kind of coil spacer or longer coil over shock will just ride harsher because all of the suspension components will be at a harsher angle.

It'll do just fine I have them in my truck on stock tires. 6th gear is actually usable with them. And since you have 33's or larger it reduces the actual axle ratio.
