hi tom, welcome to jk-forum 
regarding your question, with the amount of combind lift you are planning to install, i might recommend that you stick with 33" tires. as far as installation of the lift goes, please, do yourself a favor and use the money that you would otherwise spend it on paying someone to do the work and buy the necessary tools to do it yourself. i can guarantee you that you will end up saving money this way AND, you will learn a lot about your jeep. here are two write-ups that will help you out with the install. the body lift should be exact and the spacer lift will be similar enough to help you through

I posted a similar question a while back and I followed WOL's and everyone's advice on doing the lift myself and boy, am sure glad I did. The knowledge you gain is the true value and the ability to check and repair problems yourself or at least be able to troubleshoot is invaluable. I installed a 4" lift on my driveway along with LCA's and extended brake lines and took me 2 days solid. I was also able to build up my tool set too at a fraction of the cost to pay someone else to do it. This site helped me big time. Look at the write ups on projectjk. HUGE help. Good luck!
