If your just gonna do a little crawling and more mud/snow ditch the swampers and go with a Goodyear, BFGoodrich, ect tire. I am running Maxxis Mudders on mine, can't tell inside the cab that I am running mud tires and I get excellent traction in mud (Jeff knows this LOL) and on the rocks. Plus on the street, have no problems with traction in the rain.
To fit 33's you will need 3.5-4.5" of lift and trimming.

If you decide to go bigger later, you can always go 35's with that lift. I can go 35's on mine with the trimming I did on my fenders.
