Thanks!
Got the wheels and tires from 4 Wheel Parts http://www.4wheelparts.com/
Tried to run 285/70/17s but had to go with 265/70/17s and the front mudflaps had to be removed.
I don't think I would have been able to run my current tires without the lift...they still rub just a little bit on hairpin turns, but that just goes with the territory I suppose. They tried to get me to go with a 3" or 4" suspension lift, but I really didn't want the extra maintenance and upfront cost that it would require...

Nice Truck. Did you just roll it out of the garage? It's meticulous. Here in the east, it's dirty w/i 5 mintues of washing it, esp with all the snow.
I put the same PRG lift on my 07 SE and strapped on Nitto 285/60/18s. It's a tight fit even after I removed mud guards, trimmed back bracket they attached to and trimmed back the plastic fork looking piece in the front. (where two screws hold the plastic wheel well). Still get rubbing on tight turns especiall when in 4wheel drive but hasn't damage anything yet.
I recomend getting the camber kit (SPC #87520) to get you allignement in line after the lift.
I would have gone with a bit smaller tire but one wasn't available when i did this. Overall it's been good. Truck just gets dirtier w/o mud flaps and wider tires kicking stuff up.

If I get a shop to put in the PRG spacers I'll probably go ahead and put OME springs and struts on as well. That should be enough to get some 33's in. If I think I can put the spacers in myself (emailed PRG for a PDF of the instructions) I'll just do those and put on the other goodies once I either need new tires or new shocks... Thanks for all the help guys (and Gal)!
