RE: lift opinions
What truck do you have?
There going to be a little over an inch wider now granted thats going to be like a ½" on the outside and inside, shouldn't be any problem with fitting.
Just make sure your backspace is the same and see what the offset is on those wheels. But, the 4x4 Rams can get 33's on without any issues.

RE: lift opinions
my truck is 03 1500 4x4 5.7 HEMI.
after looking at on desertrat.com, im thinking about going with a different tire/wheel package they have on there thats a bit cheaper for the same size.

you also said make sure backspace was still the same? the backspace of the above set is 4.5, but i dont know the backspace of the ones i have now.
thank you very much for the help.

RE: lift opinions
I have an 03 also, I use to run 33x12's and had no problems with any rubbing. If you want you can also crank your torsion bars a couple of times to level the truck out and give you some more room.
Your stock 20's I believe are 5" backspace, those wheels will be fine.
After doing that you will want to get a front end alignment again.

The stock 20's with the 275/60's already are 33 inches in diameter. So in fact you have 33's on it now. 305/55-20 tires would work also on your stock rims or aftermarket. And remember 17" rimslook a lot smaller on your truckthan your 20's do now. I was going to do the same thing, but now I am leaning towards 18's after seeing a couple with 17's on them. Hell 20's look better, but the tires aren't exactly cheap.

RE: lift opinions
with 6" lift only i couldnt fit anything bigger than 35's so i had do add the body lift to get the 37's, but if it was me i wouldnt get a 3' lift and a body lift just get one with a 6' lift. i would stay away from the cheap lifts get a good one like rdc, procomp, ....
and he is right you will have to change your gears with bigger tires also not cheap
