You can run 33s on a stock JK.
However, if you want to run a wider 33 like a 33x12.50R17 tire, then you will either need new wheels with 4.5" of backspacing or wheel spacers if you use your stock wheels.
I run a Budget Boost with my 33s and it works great. If you plan on adding a bunch of heavy bumpers to the Jeep, then look into a TeraFlex 2.5" coil lift, which works really well for people on here.

If you run the 2.5 coils with a levelling kit, you might need to address the driveshafts since that would put you over 3" of lift.
I would stick with only the levelling kit and 33s.

i just got 33s for my stocker, I am working a building an overland style jeep, nothing to crawl rocks. Gotta say 33x12.5 with the proper backspacing on a two door stock suspension looks damn good. check my profile
