6.5 lift will solve your problem... Run those 33" with ease and no worries...

4.5" is good if you trim and bumpstop... going to a 6" lift woud probably require a sye... not sure if a tc drop will be enough although I have read on the forums that one or two people do it... just depends on what you want and what look you're looking for...
