You really need to do some reading....on this forum! I almost went with Pro Comp and everyone here said it was crap. A few months later I see people in another thread singing its praises! However, anything TeraFlex seems to be great and when I spring for a lift that will be it. Looked at AEV...even drove one equipped but the price is just too high and I, personally, don't think is justified.
In the mean time, I did a 2" coil spring lift and upgraded the shocks and added some longer sway bars up front. It definitely has a better look and I am hoping will help with breakover angle. This preserved my factory ride quality and I will look into this again when it is time to replace the tires. That said, with even a small lift you should be able to run 33" no problem. Just my two cents...

You don't need a lot of lift for 33s. If all you want is enough clearance then just use a leveling kit.
If you do want a "quality" lift kit consider the OME and TF 2.5". The Rock Krawler and AEV also provide great quality, but too much lift for 33" tires for most tastes.
If you want ride, material and construction quality, stay away from the low cost alternatives. A few quick presses of the SEARCH button will give you feedback on all the alternatives.

If you aren't going to off road much just keep the suspension 33's will be fine. If you want a better ride just change out your chocks. I like OME but Bilsteins kick ass too.
