3.5" should let you run 33's on a wheel with 4.25 BS or so.  You might rub off road but I was running 33's on a 4" lift with no real problems.

Can't really comment on the budget lifts.

Everything you need to run 33"s on a TJ.

And of course there is a guy with NHRA sweatshirt in the background.  That is on the same scale as the V8 powered snowblower

For 33s on a TJ, you should be able to get buy with 3" of lift.  I know a few jeeps built like this.  Also a backspacing around 4-4.5" range will definitely prevent any rubbing on the control arms.  4" of total lift would give you lots of room
