Spacers or OME coils would get you around 2" of lift. There is a lot of mixed information on the forum as to how much lift the OME 912's and 919's give and how much they settle. Matt @ Independent4x can get you the parts. www.independent4x.com

[edit]FWIW, some say they have gotten ~1.5" of lift on a Rodeo by using stock Trooper springs.

On the 3 rodeos I've lifted (a '99 and two '01s) the OME 912 springs gave exactly 3" of lift. I havent measured lately so dont know if there has been any sagging but it still looks exactly the same. Rides much nicer now too.

Even with a 3" lift you arent going to fit 33s without trimming the fenders. I had to trim to fit my 32s with a 3" lift. 2nd gen rodeos dont have very wide wheel wells. I did have to trim more because of the after market wheels which stick out farther then stock ones. But even with stock wheels you will have to trim some.
