Duratracs
I've been doing my research for the exact same thing. My choice after doing so is going to be Duratracs. Most of my time in four-wheel drive will be when I'm in the snow so I was looking for the best snow tire that also performs in mud, dirt, AND pavement. Everything I found pointed to Duratracs as my tire of choice. Now if I can just wear the rubber off of my stock BFGs, I might convince my wife to let me go and get 'em.

So now that my JFK is finally here, I feel it’s too new for me to mess with the suspension (I waited a couple years to modify my previous new rides too).
I was going to do TF2.5" with 35” Duratracs but I am going to wait a few years to do that.
I am still getting the Rugged Ridge 17inch wheels in black. What’s the most aggressive 33 inch tire that is good in the snow? Mainly street driven JK. I was looking at the 33” Duratracks but they look smaller and not as aggressive as compared to other 33’s I saw in the “Show your 33’s” thread.
To summarize I am looking for beefy 33’s that are good in the snow too. If such combination is not available, I might keep my stock wheels for the winters.
Thanks fellas

Another good reason to go with the Duratrac's as the measure just over 32" on a 9" wheel at 35 psi?!

I’m not too worried with just 33s and most measure a bit smaller anyhow. Better than my initial plan of 35s and 2.5 inch lift right away

Yes I know they do and it really gets down to you're dealer if they are mod friendly. I can't see where 1" tire size is going to make any difference even if you don't change the shift points,but it seems Chrysler is always looking to void the warranty if anything is changed.
