Yes, usually no problem at all. I'm running 35" tires with a 2.5" lift.....slight rubbing if I hit a big bump while turning, but haven't really had it happen in several years with this setup. Rim size for me is 15x8. You may have 15x10....hard to tell.
You could get BDS front springs or Tuff Country. Then new blocks in back and new Axle Ubolts. The only question would be the shocks that are mounted. Some can handle a little bit of drop, but you'd have to check out the model numbers to see if it could handle the lower ride height.
Here is mine with a 2.5" lift and 33" tires.
