Most leveling kits are 2 inch fronts, 1 inch rear. And most leveling kits are basically the same - just a bunch of hockey-puck spacers that you stuff into your coils.
You'll do fine with 33's on a leveling kit. Mine's like that and no rubbing even when flexed/disco'ed. Looks good without being over the top. 35's are the best tires and look wicked awesome too, but there's a lot that goes into making that work - so
on the 33's.

I have a stock '10 and put 33's on and do not rub @ all. Go to my pic album to see before n after pics, what a difference wheels n tires made. I'm putting my lift on Monday (2.5, rough country), will post pics.

Luckily, I started with a Rubicon, so one of the first things I did was changed out the rims. I went with MT Signature series. It changed the whole look of my Jeep. People were constantly asking if I had a lift and what tires I had. The 4.5 offset made my tires look bigger.
