Conventional wisdom is you can run up-to a 33" tire without a lift but that's really pushing the limits. Unfortunately if your running your stock wheels the lift you have isn't going to increase that a lot, but it will make 33" tires very comfortable. If you install/modify your fenders to flat fenders you may be able to fit 35s.
Depending on the width of those 33" tires though you may want to either replace the wheels with something that has a better backspace or install some spacers... if you tried to do the 35s you would definitely need spacers or new wheels.
If you don't want to change the wheels... or install spacers stick with 33" tires.

Thanks for the info. I want to stick with 33s. i dont really want to go real high right now with gas prices and 3 small kids. i just want it to look a little tougher! i like the look of the stock wheels but i have considered having them powder coated black.
