There are plenty of suspension kits for your truck under $1K. Check a local 4WD shop, check the advertisements in 4WD magazines like 4W&OR, or GOOGLE.
A good one would consist of 4 new spring packs, shocks, a dropped steering arm, an adjustable torque rod, and shims to correct pinion angle, maybe a new steering stabilizer. Look for one with a lot of thin leaves in the spring packs instead of a few thick leaves, it will ride and flex a lot better (and be a bit more expensive).
Keep it in the 3-3.5" range and you won't need expensive steering mods (ie, crossover steering).
If your 33's still rub, maybe add a 1-2" body lift, max.
seen in FOUR WHEELER magazine July 2006 and OFF-ROAD magazine Feb 2007
