Welcome aboard! What part of God's country do you live in. 
A lot will depend on your willingness to trim/cut fenders. Take a look at this thread for ideas of lift vs tire size - http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=170627

most will say a 4 inch lift and some sawall action.
you can run 12 inch springs if you want to. but most here won't recommend it.
a few (including me) will recommend you don't lift at all and just trim until they fit.
you'll want at least a 14 bolt full-floater rear axle, and a dana 60 front end would be a good idea too.
if you only have the stock front axle, you can make it live for a while by leaving it open and not beating on it too hard.

Off the shelf 4" Tuff Country HD springs in the front, shackle flip in rear with stock springs and shackles, and of course fender trimming but nothing too radical. Tires actually rub the top edges of the fenders front and rear slightly under extreme conditions but I modded the sheetmetal to prevent it from cutting the tires.
I have 39.5/15/15 on my stepside,(d60,14bff) 8inch suspention and 3 inch body(8inch front superlift softrides, diy4x shackle flip, 6in shackles, 3in springs) and when wheeling they rub when turned slightly even with cutout fender flares(not big on the fender trimming idea)....heres a pic with eaton 15x10s 3 3/8 backspacing
I'd guess Alabama.
Um... I think he was calling Alabama gods country. I got your back John!

Mine is an '89 K-5, 4" all spring lift from pro-comp, 15 x 10, 4.5" backspace,
38" x 15.5 nitto mud grapplers. Moderate trim up front, will still bite on big flex.
