Chris,
You got some reasonable advice here - 33's on a TJ really will not get you any farther than 31's will. Personally, I would have him slap on a spacer kit with longer shocks and then start working on armor. Once he wheels it a bit, then he can start looking at traction devices. Then if he decides he wants to get into running the Hammers and so forth, he really won't be out much money and then he can build to 35's. I ran 33's for almost 2 years and really, while I did the Hammers on them, the Jeep wasn't big enough and I suffered damage for it - but the 33's gave me nothing more for running John Bull and the like than the 31's I used to run. I have had 3 different lifts on my Jeep and its probably cost me a grand or so more than if I had stuck with the spacer lift until I was ready to run 35's.
