I personally dont like 3" or bigger body lifts, there was a pic of a truck on here a while back with one that hit something and the cab came off. I am a avid off-roader and I know that any kind of angle or flex puts a lot of stress on thoes body bolts and putting a body lift on would give it more leverage. You should be able to run up to a 36 with just the 5" lift. With the body ive seen up to 40's with minor trimming.

well i would think about that body lift...i personally dont care for em but hey its your journey...ive got a 2002 with a 2.5" level kit and im runnin 35's on 16in wheels. so with a bigger lift i would say around 37's depending on the pattern and the back spacing. as for the body lift also i would imagine you could go a bit bigger but like i said it depends on the back spacing as well as the tread pattern bc of tire rub mainly when you crank the wheel hard.
