The stock steering stabelizer on the JK's are very good, are you against them for any reason? If not, I have mine that I took off when I put my new lift on and would sell it if you are inrerested. I'm in Jersey too, so you can pick it up or if you are too far but really interested, we can set up shipping...

Thanks for the offer, but I actually just lifted my Rubi last week OME 2" lift kit and I want to put on 33's so I figured a new steering stabilizer in replace of my stock one.

No, which is why I suggested the stock one. You should be fine with that amount of lift and your stock SS as they are good quality, no need to go out and buy one. Many people run out and get one because they want the "different color" as supposed to the black or they want the metal bar/tube to be exposed. Just cut the plastic shell if you want and/or spray paint it another color if anything....follow me my brotha?
Only reason I have a new one is because it came with my lift kit. Other than that, if it didn't i'd still be running and be fine with it.

Depends on the brand of tire if they carry them in a 17" wheel, but essentially any size. Just keep in mind, the bigger size you go with a tire on a 17" wheel, the more pricey they get. Sounds like common sense, but what im trying to say is if you look at a 37" tire on a 15" wheel as supposed to a 17" or 18" there is a big difference.

He is corect with wheel size. Biggest mistake I have made is putting 18" wheels. My tires are $500 each versus $300 - $350 with 17" wheels. And now they don't make my tires anymore and I need three. I have to buy wheels and tires...
