Thanks everyone for the input! Really appreciated. Since I've done most of the changes as earlier suggested, all I probably need to do is to add spacers on my OME 913 springs, flip ball joints, change to taller rear bump stops and shorter ones for the front, change to braided brake lines, and then get the bigger wheels and tires. After all is said and done, get an alignment. Will probably consider upgrading to adjustable rear links and beefier calipers and rotors in the future.

I'm also considering changing to a different wheel that has a better offset since the ones I have are 12+ and the tires currently stick out about an 1-1/4" from the cladding. If I upgrade to the 33" tire, by my calculations, they'll stick out an additional 3/4" if I stick with the same offset. So, I may be doing some research on a better wheel offset for a 20x9 with a similar multi-spoke pattern. If I can't find any I like, I'll go with the same brand/model. Thanks all! rudy
