the TF 2.5" BB is a very complete kit and it'll come with just about everything you need to run 33's. if there is one other component you should get, it would be an adjustable front track bar but even at that, it's not necessary. as far as wheels go, yup, a 16" or 17" wheel with 4.5" of back spacing or less is what you'll want

with proper negative offset wheels, you wont need spacers at all.
and if you only want 33s, a bb would be all you need to ride a bit taller.
go look at the thread "show me your 33s", and see what others are running to get an idea of the look you want to achieve.

4.5" backspacing or 1.25" wheelspacers (TeraFlex makes some).

What everyone said. A rim with 4.5" backspacing would be fine assuming the tires aren't too wide. The 16" rim will save you a little money. Personally I prefer the 17", it may not have any bearing in truth, but I feel it may provide the most flexibility later (for example, if they come up with some upgraded brake system down the road).

I think your Jeep will have a great stance from what you're proposing.

I an running the same as you are looking at. I have the Teraflex 2.5" BB, 17X8 Pro Comp Wheels with 4.5" BS, and 295/70R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Works great.
