So I had a Rough Country 3.5" lift installed and also replaced the air and electric suspension with New Bilstein 5100's and new Moog Springs (for an LT/Z71) for all four corners. The truck ended up being a little higher than what I planned on or wanted, but I can live with it, and I was told it might lower a tad when the new springs get a few hundred miles on them, IDK though.
Next, after testing the suspension travel and clearance with my current tires, I decided to get BFG T/A KO2's and 17" wheels put on this coming week. I decided to go with 285/75 R17 (33.9"x11.2") and wheels with a 0 mm offset, to get the tires away from the upper control arm at full turn and make room for tire chains. I will need to do a little trimming in the wheel well but I think maybe only plastic. I'll see later this week. After the new tires, I should still have about 1/2" clearance between the roof rack and the garage door.
Here is a pic with the lift and new suspension, before the new tires and wheels (and trimming). The current tires are about 31.5":
