Default 2009 4x4 lift questions

hey everyone i've done some searching and can't find a straight answer for what i want to do to my 2009 sport 4x4. right now i have a 3 inch leveling kit (keys and shackles) with 265/75r16's. im looking into getting a 3 inch body lift as well from either summit or performance accessories and throw on some 33x11.50. my first question is can the 33's fit without the body lift without looking "stuffed"? also im looking into keeping my stock rims which are a 16x7, 12mm offset and i belive the backspacing is 4-4.5" which leads to my second question. will i need wheel spacers and how thick if i do. some people say they get away without spacers and no rub at full wheel cut but some people say they rub. my 265/75 16"s rub the swaybar at full wheel cut so i was thinking the 33's would to. or would the extra lift take care of that? thanks for any help!

They don't make them for 98+ rangers.
