Look at my albums, I have a 4.5" lift with 32's and they rub just a little under full flex. Bumpstops will fix this

if its a pre 96 you are more likely able to get away without an sye, but with a 97+ theres a good chance you will need one (different output shaft types)

as for 32's rubbing, thats pretty much the borderline tire size where you can get away without trimming you will need to bumpstop and you need to find the right backspaced wheels to keep them out of your control arms and out of your fender flares. the narrower the 32 the easier it will be to fit.
