Not one to squash people's dreams. But I'll share some of my knowledge first before you jump too far into it. So, first off get yourself front bumpstops. That'll help some rub when the front end compresses (it'll save your suspension too).
2nd, bump that lift up to at least 3.5". Hopefully you're running the OME 927 springs, and a 1/4" top plate to hit 3". If so, you're in luck. It's a lot easier to add the 3/8" clevis to get up to 3.5". If you did the clevis instead of the top plate, well then that sucks because you'll have to add the more annoying of the 2. If you want to go more than that, find yourself some JBA coilovers or do like ATH did and make a set of custom coilovers. Full size springs over 3.5" don't work well at all.
3rd, 4.56s should put you back to stock RPMs, but won't make up for weight. 4.88s might have been better, but that's really all personal preference and location/use based. You might want to add a locker(s) or LSD(s) while rehearing. It'll save you money down the road if you eventually plan on adding those (strong possibility that you will...we know Jeepers).
4th, from personal experience, well a close friend's personal experience, 33s won't work, even at 3.5" and with a ATH front bumper. She ended up going with 32x11.5s.
That's all my words of wisdom for now. Many people like to try things and see for themselves (I can clearly see you're one of them, and I don't blame you, I kinda am too). Good luck, please report back on how it all works out for you. Please include pics because....well pics or it didn't happen!
Hey I'll take all the suggestions I can ! It's good to hear all this constructive criticism!!! It's just I think the idea of a kk with with 33s on a 15 inch rim it's cool ... All are good theories of all That could go wrong but I like to see the glass half full lol... I know probably for the average joe this is insane like mentioned above but I'm some what good at fabricating ....it's surprising the stuff you can do with a tig/mig/plasma!!!! ... as a matter of fact I have added about 1/2 inch on the Clevis but I was planning on adding top plates (diy) jba makes some but I think I can make some better ones . As far as changing to a adjustable coil for the front from jba it's probably going to be the last thing on the table just because I really like the ride of the ome. And I'm pretty sure it can be stretched the entra inch it needs .. cutting into the unibody don't really matter to me because I can weld a stiffening plate. The only "concern" in thinking is the rear fender flares , I feel like at full flex they'll be riped off bc the tire is not going to be tucked In ... my "solution"is going to involve ... (WARNING DONT READ THIS!! )Cutting !!! the inner fender then possibly moving the back flare up and inch ?? Idk i really need to have the tire to see all the options .. for the back I like to get the jba long spring but for now an isolator would do...
