Default Third brake light adjustment for larger tire
Hi...I am about to put 33's on my 2008 rubicon...I imagine that the larger tire will block my third brake light...what is best option to remedy this issue?

Like others have said a 33" tire would be fine but if you get larger tires or just want it higher up you can buy a third brake light extension there are mfg out there like OR-Fab offering them.

Here's what my 33" Nitto Trail Grappler on 17" addict looks like. 3rd brake light shows just fine.
