i'd say trackbars and adjustible lowers (probably not necessary, but they'll help with the pinion angle, and you may need them anyways depending on what size meats you're gonna run) if you dont already have them.

i have an RE rear trac bar relocation bracket and i dont do any real crazy rock crawling more or less just through some swamp areas and my buddies farms through mud pits but i wanted to move to a 33x12.50 will that make anything weaker>>>> (axles) or will it make anything wear faster. Also, this is my daily driver.
 
the lift height itself should be good for 33s, but you may rub for other reasons, like backspacing. but if you're going to run 33s on 5" i'd definately recommend LCA's front and rear. uppers you could probably do without. but lowers would adjust your pinion angle, and center the axles under the wheel wells. i'm actually doing the opposite of you right now, i have a 2" bb, and i'm adding 3.5" coils, right now i have front adjustables and a rear trackbar but i'm holding off until i get rear adjustibles and kevins track bar conversion for the front.

someone with experience will chime in, but i've heard nothing but bad stuff about the track bar relocation brackets. i hear they break easily. and not just on zj's, but they're generally junk all around, do yourself a favor and do it right.
 
all the track bar brackets are close to identical but I would recommend the Kevins front trackbar conversion. Keeps the wobbles down..even wobbles caused by unbalanced tires are less.
