Any time you increase tire size, you're introducing additional stress on the front end parts. Going to 33" tires is not that big of an increase, so I doubt you will see a terribly noticeable increase in wear, given that you regularly check the grease in those new parts and don't beat the truck off road. For tires, I'm partial to the nitto terra grapplers, even though they're pricey. I had them on my gr cherokee for a bit and i really liked them but i sold the jeep so i can't really vouch for how well they wear

I just bought this Pro Comp AAL kit for mine: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/exp-13120 haven't put it on yet though. It says it nets around 1.5" for our trucks.
