That says it's a 2nd Gen kit 'dog, but you are on the right track, I think you'll need the front shocks.
And yeah, from my pic, that's over 4" of lift, you take it down about 1.5" and those 33's would look perfect in there...

yea the stock 33" size doesnt fill the wheel well enough, especially without a At or MT tire. i think if your gonna do it just go for the bigger 35's and call it a day. i just got the zeons put on my truck and the wheel well is filled alittle bit more and it makes a nice difference.

Check out my album dog, i have a body lift with 11" wide tires and 1.5" wheel adapters. Didnt look bad at all. It actually looked pretty good. I just had to go bigger though. In my album " the grey ghost".
