Wow. All Really good feedback from everyone, I really appreciate everyone taking their time to help me out with this.
So I have a few followups. I'm not sold yet one way or the other seeing that the responses and survey are literally split down the middle. However, I am leaning more towards the 33s with a 2.5 inch lift like I originally thought. That being said, I would like whatever setup I go with now, to be able to support 35s in the future if I do decide to upgrade or purchase them now. That way the only thing I would be having to add are tires and a re-gear. Not throwing away money with a lift and wheels that don't support 35s.
What are your thoughts on this and what setup would you recommend? Also I've recently seen a decent amount of posts saying that the stock JLU Sport S axle won't support 35s or is a bad idea because it isn't strong enough? Anyone have any insight on that? If I HAVE to upgrade to a DANA 44 just for 35s than that answers my question right there. I simply don't have the budget for a re-gear and new axle just to run the tires successfully off-road.
Finally with 33s
Again, I appreciate all your guys insight.

If anyone has any more insight on what 33s with a 2.5 lift is capable of without fear of damaging the vehicle or getting in over my head, that would be awesome. Trying to find some trails in Southern California that I'll be able to do with that setup.I would have no hesitation taking a stock height sport with 33s across sidewinder in corral canyon. If you don't see yourself doing something harder than that then skip the 35s.
Again, I appreciate all your guys insight.
