For a lift, crank the torsion bars to give a 2" front lift then depending on rear suspension design either go for extended shackles for leaf springs or get a set of stock GQ coil springs for a 2" rear lift.

This should allow you to just squeeze some 33" tyres under the guards, you'll need the right offset though (this depends on tyre width as well).

And then you have a lifted truck on muddies for about the cost of some muddies as GQ springs are cheap and torsion bar cranking is free (you will need a wheel alignment though).

'84 will be leaf spring.

Crank the torsion bars - yes. Find a decent wheel alignment specialist afterwards, or your tyres will wear faster.

Extended shackles are the cheapest lift for leaf springs, but different states have different regulations. Make sure you understand the Victorian laws before you make any changes.

Personally, I don't believe you'll fit 33s without rubbing somewhere, regardless of the rim offset - unless you go particularly skinny 33s, which will limit your choices for tyres. Again, make sure you understand the laws regarding taller tyres.
