recently purchased a lift kit that includes longer brake lines. would I be able to install the longer break lines now while the jeep is still stock to help save on time when the jeep gets lifted a few weeks later. am I going to be pinching anything or rubbing anything wrong or should I be ok with putting the brake lines on and save having to put them on in the future and bleed the brakes

x2 on this. Just be careful if they have the hard line on them. If you install them now and then aticulate too much off road, there's a possibility there may not be enough slack in the soft line on uptravel.
I have a real quick question. I can get these wheels for $80 would I have enough back spacing and wheel width to fit a 33/12.50r15 tire without running issue? Does anybody run these stock TJ wheels?

They have more backspacing than stock XJ wheels, but certainly not enough for 33x12.5. Spend the little bit more money on steel wheels with the proper backspacing, 3.75-4".

Same* Unless those are 15x8. XJ, YJ, and TJ wheels have 5.25" BS as long as they're 15x7
Just noticed one of my leafs is straying from the pack. Re-torqued the u-bolts and all is good. Is this something I should be worried about, or just a result of flexing?

mine does it a lot worse than that. Just recently started doing it.
Steel. "Rubbing" can be different things. They'll fit mostly but the backspacing isn't the issue, it's the tire diameter. It'll depend on your control arms and some material inside the wheel well.
