Welcome to the forum, Matt, where are you from?

For a lift, I'd look into coil puck spacers for the front and extended shackles and shackle relocation brackets. Should be about 2" of lift.

budget wise check out rough country they are reasonable i paid about 900 bucks for 4.5 inch lift including shipping depending on what size your shooting for, good customer service too

If u want 33" shoot for a 4.5" lift.they say that you should have 32s but it should work with 33" with no or minimal rubbing. If there is rub just throw on some fender flares

you can also look into rustys they have a package with everything needed including wheels and tires at 4.5" with the 31's they offer i think its like 1700. this is the kit
