2.5" w/ 33's will be fine. Many are runing 33's with no lift. Not that I want your JK to look like mine, good choice on combo by the way, but go with a 3" lift. Will give you the room to step up in size down the road if you ever decide you might, as well as budget boosts are not the way to go in my opinion. Besides won't cost much more for the 3". I almost went w/ 33's due to daily driver and thought 35" was too much tire, now I'm wishing I went with a 4" lift so I could get 37"s down the road!

Not necessaily, typically, tires w/larger wheel sizes cost more to produce, (R&D, and all that stuff) hence the reason anything over a 20" is usually skyhigh. I think Nitto tends to produce/sell tires for the bigger wheels, so maybe they have more R&D in the smaller wheels, just a guess....who knows.

How do they fit 35 on stock wheels? Because all those tires need at least 18x8 or 18x8,5 no? Have you seen bigger tires that can fit the stock wheels? Maybe it should be smarter to go with 17!!!

35's fit fine on stock wheels. There are plenty of people on here running 35's on stock wheels. Check out the galley. How much bigger? I'm not sure that I underdstand what you are asking. FYI, I'm running 18x8.5" wheels.
