I personally am not a fan of body lifts.  With a 4" spring lift, you should have more then enough lift to clear 33's.  If it was mine to build, I would do a spring over lift with the factory springs.  There is realistically no "wrong" way to build a Jeep, unless you're lowering it.

Your running 33s and need more clearance?

Or

you want to run 33s after you do a lift?

4" sl with a 2.5" bl is going to give you way too much for 33s IMO. I'm running 4.5 sl w/ no bl and clear with a bit to spare. if it was not for my Ice/Mud chains I would be thinking of droping the COG.

I do wish sometimes I had a 1" BL and 2.5" SL
