Fitting 33"s
My Jeep has 2-3in of lift in it right now. The guy I bought it from didn't know how much, but Its sitting on 31x10.5in tires, however the tires are like new and only measure up to 30" so While trying to get my vehicle to fit 33s, I will assume I only have a 2in lift. Now what I was thinking is to get 2-3"coil spacers. If I do that I know I will need an adjustable track bar and a drop pitman arm, but what size shocks should I get? And I wanted somebushwacker fender flares. With this do you think I could fit, not Squeeze 33s? By the way I live In mass, and your tires can only stick out 2.25"past flares. and Lastley do you know of any snorkel that Will fit with bushwacker or booshwacker look-a-like fender flares? I want to trim my fenders and have flares + a snorkel. 
Thanks,

Plenty of people run 33s with 4.5" with a little bit of trimming. I would say just make sure your bumpstops are good. I would recommend getting full coils instead of spacers. You'll get better performance that way. But it'll at least get the job done for the time being. And I don't think you'll need a drop pitman arm for that.
If I remember correctly for your snorkel you just need to trim the bushwackers a little to fit a safari snorkel... at least for the cut outs. I think you'll be ok with flat flares... I think. Another option is a cowl snorkel. Search for Dukie's version of a cowl snorkel for a great write up and some other ideas too.

Check up on that drop pitman arm. If you use one you'll probably need to drop the frame side trac bar mount as well.
I have 33s on a 3" lift, and could easily remount my flares.

Keep your stock flares and trim them up to the mold line that seen on the rear and then trim fender up to the mounting holes and run extended bumpstops. I have no issues with my flares even at full stuff, with alot of room to spare too.
