Go straight to 35s. You will not regret it. Don't say I didn't warn you 
Alot of people who go to 33s regret not going 35 right off the bat. Don't listen to the critics. The 3.73 gears are FINE for normal usage. You just need a 2.5 BB, some spacers and some extra gas money.

Mine, of course!
16" MB72s with BFG All Terrain T/A KO 295/75R/16
These measure about 32.8" tall, sound and ride great on the road, and are suitable for me on the trail. (I'm allergic to mud).
As you can see, I really couldn't go much bigger even with my flat fenders, as I have it pretty well stuffed. I'm running the 1.5" TeraFlex Performance leveling Kit (springs). When I had this set up with the stock fenders, I rubbed pretty regularly in the back.

im a fan of most pro comp wheels.. i have the 8179s. i also have their xtreme mud terrains in 33s. im not going to tell you not to get 35s.. its just most people dont take all things into consideration when jumping all the way up to 35s. the tires are much heavier and will cause a huge loss in power, so you will more than likely want/need to regear. Also.. if you are going to off road it.. 35s WILL rub your fenders if you disconnect your sway bar. basically 35s put a lot more stress on your vehicle. i have 33's... i would like 35s if i can the money to invest in everything else to keep things from breaking. take that into consideration.
