Why not try the SuperLift (SL) 5" Lift and you can run 32 or 33" tires.
I used the Front Super Lift kit and I used 6" SkyJacker Leak Springs, eliminated all the blocks, even the OEM pieces.
With these springs you need to evaluate the mounting bolts being used in both the Spring Mounts and the Springs themselves. Two different sized bolts, you will need to modify the mounting in one direction or the other to fit what you can. I don't remember which is larger, use the largest pieces, (goes without saying).
In front I replaced the Torsion Bars with Coil-Over Shock Setup. I think it has been around 10 years since I had the kit installed and I've only had to rebuild the Coil-Over Shocks once, about two years ago, it made a big different in the ride, also the coil-overs help in cornering.
If you do the SL Kit you will need the new Alignment Adjusters for the front end, (Name ?), these are a must do, don't try to not do it because you will have to take it apart again just to add them in. (You may only need the Front SL Kit, used to be able to buy separately).
My '03 looks good with this lift and 33s, the ride could be a little better but not too bad even on the rougher dirt roads in my area.
