I think 33s will look very small on that lift and the proportions won't be right.
Also consider gearing.  4.56 and a manual transmission will be ok for 33's but definitely consider 4.88 if 35's are in your future.  You can quickly add a lot of cost by regearing but it is
better to consider it all beforehand and to it right the first time.

 Thanks for the nfo & suggestions. you guys are a great help. I'm 4.0 auto. My D30 is already set-up w/4.56 & OX locked so I'm going 4.56 Detroit in the8.8.

I've considered this may be the case. I thought though I would see how it looks prior to going up-size $$. I just didn't want 2 regret in the future not going 2 the 5.5 lift.

To upgrade all you need are the Clayton 5.5" coils ($300 for all 4) and longer shocks which are always on sale...

X2  An extra $175 for an off road sway bar is money well spent.  It is probably on of the best mods on my Jeep.  Even with only 4" of lift, you will feel much more stable off road.   :up:

Just put on an antirock myself the other day and was testing flex, so much more body roll stability. Also, the 4" clayton kit will be well proportioned for 35's, 33's will look very small, as ed runs 37's on his. I have a 5.5 kit, and am taking all the steps now to LOWER my CoG. I probably would have gone with the 4" myself the first time around, so kudos to you for choosing that.
