Our 1.25 body lift has a bracket in it now to raise the bumper up to the body so no gap. 
To the OP as a point of reference... I installed the RC 2.5" lift kit (no body lift). I am still running the stock Rubicon tires. Before & after pictures are included... I think the spring lift alone would be sufficient to clear 33's... Also, take a close look at a JK with a body lift... It leaves gaps between body & bumpers... Not a deal-breaker for me personally, however it would be unfortunate for you to buy & install the BL only to hate the gaps!

I am running 37s with a 2.5 spacer lift with no problems. i did trim the hell out of the pinch seams, and am about to get some flat fenders as i do hit the stock fenders when it starts to flex. so i would say 2.5 lift up to 35s is no problem at all, no body lift needed. it will look a little strange with the 33s, you wont notice much MPG difference between 33s and 35s so just step up to the 35s. BTW, with a flashpaq and 100% highway im getting about 17 mpg through an auto and 4.10s. but its VERY flat around here, no real hills to speak of. around town it drops to about 14-15mpg. But if you're needing fuel efficiency, i'm sorry to say it but you definitely bought the wrong vehicle. LOL
