Im most likely buying the 3" lift and spacers from liftmeister and getting some 33" myself, perfect starting setup it seems. Hi and welcome from a newbie myself

Skip the Supreme lift and go straight to the liftmeister lift.

Make sure you add a external transmission cooler to your plans, especiallyif you got 3.42 gearing. Our 4L60 transmission and the high stall torque converter produceses a lot of heat on stock tires, now add 33”.
See this chart.
