Right now I have a 3 inch body lift on mine, it was all I could afford at the time. It clears NDT 9.00-16 which are 35.2 inches tall. You can have your springs reached, or best bet is to get an after market lift kit. I have had good luck with the skyjacker softride kits in the past. Cant go much over 4 inches of suspencion lift without steering mods. The truck is a 3/4 ton, it will stop fine with bigger tires, if you load it down with big tires then you might have a problem.
The taller tires will drop highway RPM, but to big and you wont have power to turn them at speed, should be able to pull up to a 38 inch tire if you have a strong motor, havent owned a slant 6 so not sure. I have plenty of room on mine could easly fit a 36/12.5 swamper or similar tire, I just went with the NDT's cause they look cool.
