Hey everyone.
I'm ordering new springs soon but don't know what to get. I wouldn't mind lifting this thing a few inches but the following are important.

NO VIBRATIONS AT ANY SPEED due to weird driveline angles.

30x9.5's cant look stupid 'cause I'm stuck with them for a while.

I've got 331 gears so 31, 32 tires wouldn't be that bad, would they?

I don't want to ever cut out the fenderwells for bigger tires.

3.31's with 31's is to bad. So I wouldent worry about that. With a 4" 31's look perfect.

for the vibrations, done correctly you wont have any vibes. just dont get a super aggressive tread, as that may also cause vibes.

Yeah, 4 would be good.

4" would be perfect with 31's on a 8" rim...no trimming or cutting will be forced by this combo

another vote for the 4" 31 combo. thats what i have. no vibration problems at all, just a little bump steer. i am waiting to see if the springs settle a bit. right now they are a little higher than they should be, but they are coming down. when they finally settle at 4" i will re-evaluate the need for a drop pitman arm.

I recommend a 4" drop pitman arm with any lift equaling 4" or better....

I second the 4" dropped pitman arm recommendation. It will only make things easier.
