Default to lift or not to lift

Hey i have a 2000 4.7L Sport, and im planning on getting some 32x11.5 mud tires. If i use the stock rims will this fit with no lift? It looks like it should but would rather get some advice, if anyone has some pictures that would be awesome.

I have been considering going with the 3" body lift, but does anyone have experience putting one in? Is there alot of work or extra stuff that has to get done?

IF ANYONE HAS PICTURES WITH 32s and 3" BODY LIFT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM

Thanks guys i hope to get some responses

I had a 3"Bl on mine with 33x12.50x15. If your's are 16's then probably 305's. If you go that route you will have to trim some plastic wheel well on the passanger and driver side of the truck as you will rub a little bit stock. but 32's should be fine.

it's not hard to install, just more so time consuming. you need a good jack and basic tools. I did it in my garage with another friend.

Ok, is it a weekend project or a little more time consuming? I'm still kinda unsure if I'm going to go with the body lift or not. I'm not sure if 32s would be big enough with the lift, that's why I wanted some pics.
