Default 4" Lift question/Opinions

I am currently running a Teraflex leveling kit with 33x12.5 tires, in the future I am gonna upgrade to 37's. Curious if anyone has ever put a 4" lift and 33's. I have the money to do a lift now, but not the gears and 37's so just wondering how funny it may or may not look with 33's and a 4" lift until I get the tires and gear money.

Current look

Then you are not properly bump stopped or are not running the proper backspacing for the size tire you are running. Adding more height will do nothing to prevent the rubbing but will decrease stability and cause driveline and steering issues.

I am aware of all of this I am just looking down the road, I want the same setup I had on my '11 and I didn't really want to do little upgrades now if I could just start purchasing the lift now.

My rims have a 4.0 offset and I installed the bumpstop adapters that came with the leveling kit. On large bumps my tire will hit the fender or the bumper not sure which one. I am also having an issue of the sway bar hitting the frame. It seems that the links that came with this kit are too tall.
