I personally wouldn’t go real big on tires. You can do 35’s stock but you’ll need to space them out so they don’t rub on tight turns. 17x9” and -12mm back space wheels work good without spacers.
Either your really hard on that truck or what, you should be getting way better gas mileage. On the stock 31”s mine was getting 18-19 around town and high 21to 22 with highway driving. I have 3.73 gears and a 6 speed. Your 4.10’ s will pull a few more rpm’s out of it but not 6-8mpg.
Now that it’s winter in Pa. and the intake temp sensor is sniffing colder air my mileage drops at least 2 to sometimes 3 mpg. The computer richens up the mixture for colder temperatures. As soon as it gets warm the mileage comes back.
If you really want to lift it , 2-2 1/2” is fine but you don’t really have to. Actually a good set of of 33’s on the wider Overland or Rubicon rims would be great if you only want to off road minimally and not very often. Remember that what ever you do will affect power and performance somewhere. If your not prepared to pay the price for upgrades and then the affect! Leave it stock or start out slow and decide what you need as you learn. Just my opinion.
You already have a good truck, enjoy it and good luck with what ever you decide.
