Ballocks.
You can maintain droop easily by reducing or removing bump stops and or fitting ball joint spacers. Hitting the body on full articulation is a case of wheel offset to clear body or add spacers.
A +2" suspension lift will get you so much more travel about 4" before you drop the arb.
CofG agreed but big deal, with a wider track you'll compensate for that, but remember you'll have wheels in contact with the ground longer so there

It'll be the bit of plastic covering the fuel pipe more like. Check it's fitted properly as my 35s don't touch it.
Also check your panhard rod's bushes

no nowt, just reset torsion bar

Not going bigger than 31's either, so perhaps a suspension lift will do

struggling to find a proper 2" lift for a lwb tho as everything seems to be for the lighter swb truck

body lift does help, both have their pros/cons. But to run 33s you will need both.

I had no problems with standard springs/+2 longer shocks on 31s
