find an old ford f-150 front dana 44 (70's axles work best) and base your lift off of there. you'll need a minimum of 8-10 inches of lift.
have you ruled out 35s? You would deff fit 35's with some minor cutting and 5.5" lift!
I was thinking going to 37's to, but thats just way to big and it chops your mpgs on an already not too efficient truck lol

sand them
prime them wait 30 minutes between each coat
after the primer is done, paint them. 30 minutes in between each layer

Boy I"ll tell you jmess, it"s like we called each other...your D is the spitting image of mine! Nice straight body and the color looks like my "loredda" too, is it Chili Pepper Red? When you get around to putting your 33"s on post some info about it (any modifications, problems etc.) as this is going to be my next upgrade also...kingoftow

solid axle swap, its the proper way to build one of these trucks up for off-roading, and if you want to put bigger than 36" or so on it you will destroy CV joints and axle half shafts if you dont swap out to a solid axle
