The first thing you need is a very understanding wife! 33inches on a Jimny is a major mod. The lifts are straight-forward - 3" Spring lift and 2" body lift. But I assume being your wifes car she will want to drive it on the road so you will then need:

Castor correction- otherwise it will be all over the road

Major re-gearing - 33" tyres are Suzuki SJ Rocklobster conversion territory -replacing the Jimny T-box is a major financial investment of around £1000 if you buy the SJ Transfer box as well.

Cut-away wheel arches and spacers to get the steering circle back

A collection of spare driveshafts, Jimny driveshafts do not have a good reputation and 33" inches will test them to the limit.
