Welcome to the forum!

Take a look through the suspension section, there are plenty of threads on how to lift these bad girls. Post up if you have any questions!

Welcome! I would suggest a 2" body lift. Check out ebay. I wanna say I paid about $130shipped for a 2" bl from performance accessories. Just make sure the kit comes with everything. Also try and stay away from the 2" suspension lifts, they are a waste of money. Do a search on torsion bars cranked/ shackles and do some reading on that. It might be something your willing to do.

Its pretty easy to find them if you crawl under there and take a look...theyre about 6ft long, going from the back of the front doors to the front wheels. The lift won't affect your tires if you get an alignment done after adjusting them

Let me just tell you that you will not gain much in frame clearance by lifting your truck and sticking larger tires under her.

If you go with 31's, which a lot of guys have, that will only gain you 1.25" in clearance over stock size tires.

If you just want to make it look cool, then do the lift and tires. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it if you are on a budget and just want to get it dirty in the mud.
