reasonable is stock(2.25") or 2.5". 2.5" is good for a stroker while 3" may be too large.

and im assuming that im going to still have the drive shaft touch the pipe? or does that change when you have a lift and bigger tires?

2.25" is stock, MANY people run 2.5" with only nominal benefit and not too much in the way of clearance problems. it does help to route the new downpipe closer to the engine, but be careful not to cook your oil..

Sadly, my pipe is about a cm away from my oil pan.
