Default Personal Opinion question

Now, before you say that you've seen so many threads asking about this, I did search, but this here isn't a what to buy, but a how do you think this will look.
Tonight I got bored and decided to look on Autotrader at prices, and after a while, I looked up some Power Wagons. I noticed one appeared to have a little bit of a lift on it, and it says to have 33" tires. It doesn't look like the wheel wells are that empty, and doesn't look bad. It doesn't say the size of lift though, if it even is a lift. And you also know how advertising is, they don't quite get everything copied over correctly.
So, does anyone have any ideas on what would look best with my 33" tires? Does anyone have any pictures either? I've looked on Google, and got more other other vehicles, and since the word lift, or suspension is used in so many other things and on other forums, it's hard to find the pictures that you really want to see.
I appreciate anyone's help in the research process on this. I'd like to have some height, and don't know exactly what I want to do.

Default 33's

Look in my Albums my Ram has 33's, as a matter of fact the same size and style as a Power Wagon, but if you have 20" rims which it looks like you do you also have 33's.. hope this helps

If you still have those rims shown in your sig pic you already have 33's. If you are going to lift your truck I would go bigger. I think our trucks look good with a mild lift and 35's.

Yea, they were supposed to be in Thursday and installed today. Pissed me off when they weren't. So that's why I can't go with 35s.
What I'm asking is instead how a 2-3" lift on the truck would look with the 33" tires. I know what size I have, I want to know how the lift would look.

Ooooooh, I got you now. Then to answer this question, your tires would look too small in the wheel wells with 3" of lift and the stock tires.

you talkin bout lifting just the front (leveling), or rear too? I agree, would look a bit small with 33s.
