Remember if you put 33's or bigger on her i would suggest you regear your front and rear differentials, otherwise your gonna lose gas mileage and she is going to be hard to get moving.

-You might also want to beef up your steering components.
-Some new headlights as well, the stock ones suck.
-Bedliner on her too if you plan to go playing in her alot.

congrats on the new rig bub.

welcome to the forum. you must decide on a lot of things before we can recomend anything. what tire size? then how tall of a lift? read this https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18617. that will tell you the things you will need if you go bigger than 3" lift.

finally of course my recomendations are to read my signature (or proflile for more detail) cause that is what i recomend. happy modding and watch out for the mod bug it will hit you fast.

Welcome to the forum!
If you're working with 3 grand a budget lift and some 33's sounds reasonable, probably enough left over for rims too.
