Need Help with Tire size

[02XEB]

First off, I've got a 02 Eddie Bauer 4 door 4x4. Right now everything is stock. I'm not really looking into doing a lift, so if I put 18x9 inch wheels on, what is the max tire size I can install on the 18's? I was wanting to do a suspension lift and install 33's, however I can't find a lift. So I figured it would probably just be easier to keep it at stock height and install a decent mean tire on it. Any suggestions?

I suggest you check this thread for your tires:
EDIT- he beat me to it ^

As for finding a lift I believe 3rd gens use "coil spacers" all around, just google that and im sure you can find something, or you could go with a body lift, not sure but I think pa-883 (a body lift part number, google it) could be used on a 3rd gen.
