1. Your backspacing is almost stock spacing, which isn't want you want if you want to run wider/tall tires. You want 4.5" or less backspacing on aftermarket rims. Maybe see if you can swap the rims for the right backspacing or buy spacers.
2. You don't need to regear. You might want 35s, cause after you get 33s you'll want 35s the next day.
3. You don't need a body lift. If you get 2.5-3" of lift from that kit, that's enough to clear 33s or 35s. With flat fenders you could run 37s.
All things being equal, the difference between 33" and 35" wheels with 4.10s is 300 rpms with the 35s turning slower than 33 at the same highway speed. Just keep over-drive off so the tranny isn't hunting for the correct gear. Also understand that once you start building your dream rig, you will start losing mpg.
