correct me if i am wrong and im sure someone will come on and do it. Stock tires should be able to fit a 30 and 31 inch tire. I know if you get a leveling kit and jsut raise the front the 2 inches you can fit up to 33's. So with a 3" body im guess something in the 34 35 range.

03's are leveled by replacing the torsion bar keys with what are referred to as "ford" keys.  I haven't installed them, but I think they are under $100.  A good shop should be able to install them in about an hour I would guess.  Should get an alignment done afterward of course.

MainOne is correct about the torsion bar keys, however, you may want to take look at the adjustment screws with your stock keys.  Some have very little adjustment but some can be turned up quite a bit.  I lifted the front of mine 1 1/4" with the stock keys.  All it cost me was an alignment.

FWIW I also have a 3" body lift and I'm running 33/12.50/17's with room to spare.  The have never rubbed and I have not trimmed my cladding.
