unknown at this time.
you take weight of wheels and crank, a bit at a time, the bolts hangin down near the rear end of torsion bar. may be sticky. DO NOT EXCEED A MAX OF LIFT 1.5-2 INCHES. if you bottom out one bolts staying under the max point level it off with the other. rough drive the vehicle a bit. recheck side leveling and when do redo wheel alignment.

how much rougher of a ride would it be cranking the bars? and would it allow to clear 33" all terains? i know alot more details go into a tire fitting...just looking for a relative yes or no.
i have 285/75/16 now. going to try and fit a 33/12.50 on 18x9 rims. no clue of the offset.

As far as ride, it depends on how much you crank them. Max out the TB and you will get a rough ride. And yes you can clear 33s but 285s are 33s so you won't see much difference with height Heres pics of my truck with the front cranked and the tires. Hoper this helps

what would be the difference if i did a key way leveling kit and 2" blocks and some nice 2" lift shocks? would i see a good ride then? wondering if i could do the level kit, blocks and shocks and a 3" body lift andhow that would work on 33x12.50s

I'm not really sure about the keys. I've heard some people say it helped,others don't recommend it. I'm actually eventually gonna do the set up you're talking bout but I'm not gonna worry bout keys since my ride isn't that bad. I've heard of people running 315s which is around 35s with that set up. I think you'll have a decent ride especially with shocks. I'm running the stock shocks for now
