Sounds like you really wants 35s. If you do 35s just be prepared 2 either lose mpg, regear, or both. I will not do 35s cause I don't want to regear or lose mpg. 33s will make offroading harder and look small.

Great info.. I have a 2.5 TF coil lift, with allot of accessories.. so I am going to add the M.O.R.E. 1" body lift to ensure the extra clearance.. read the write-up.. look forward to the project..
A peace of advice fr you .Sringer.. I started with the 33's now at 35's .. started with a BB 2.5 lift 10 months later a 2.5 Coil lift.. if you plan on adding bumper, winch, bumper with tire carrier.. you will find that you loose allot of your lift and in order to fix it.. you either have to stack the pucks or go up to a coil lift to resolve it.. I added 1/2" spacers after adding my coil lift to keep the rake even.

Do it right.. if you want 35's - do 35's and do it once. It is much cheaper that way.
just my opinion (and wasted dollars)

Here's my setup - Teraflex Leveling Kit & Toyo Open Country MT - 295/70/17's 
I like it a lot, but if I were to do it again, I think I'd go with a 2.5 coil lift & 35's. What's funny though, is that my 33.5" Toyo's are almost as tall as a set of a buddy's 35" BFG KM2's!

Be careful with a daily driver. I made the mistake of going 35s. This led to gears, then adjustable arms, then new trackbar and so on. This was all to get the original stability back
