Default New 2001 Silverado 1500

Hello everyone im new to this forum so if i butcher my first few posts be easy on the flaming.. I just bought a 2001 1500 Silverado extended cab.. im really excited to start customizing it! Little tight on money right now but i'd like to ask a few questions on what to do with the wheels/tires/lifts..

I am planning on leveling the truck with the CCM 3" Front 2" rear leveling kit...
I am planning on using 18" Monster XD wheels with either 33" or 35" tires..

My question is: Which tires would fit better, the 33" or the 35" ? and what would the dimensions be for the wheels and the tires?

Link for leveling kit: - 1999 2006 Chevy GMC K 1500 3" Front 2" Rear Lift Kit 4x4 4WD | eBay

Any help or tips would be awesome.. Thank you!

Give you a few tips since you're new that could save you some money....instead of buyin the levelin kit, go under there and see if your stock keys have been cranked, if not then crank the stock torsion keys first. If that doesn't level you(which It should) then buy the keys and put them in. If you want it to be truly level, then don't do anything with the back. And do the 33x12.5 tire on a 18x9 -12 offset wheel. It'll look great. I had just a levelin kit with 20x9 -12 offset and 33x12.5x20 toyo mt tires and it sat great, just needed more up after about a month lol. Also if you can do it, snag a 1.5" body lift from zone and put that on as well. Will give you almost 4" of lift for pretty cheap
