We run about 2-2.5" of suspension lift along with a JKS 1.25" body lift. Very proportionate for 33's. Not lifting the suspension any taller keeps operating angles on control arms, steering linkages, trackbars and driveshafts much flatter. This makes for a jeep that rides and handles better and doesn't require as much money to make it all work.
The final answer (after you have your lift height set) to stop tire rubbing in a given application is to add some extra bumpstop to your suspension. The bumpstops you have from the factory were designed to keep the stock tires off of your fenders, not 33's.
Of course, a jeep that's running a 1" BL needs an inch less bumpstop than a jeep that isn't running a BL...
