The 265 32" in this pick looks like it hangs down a lot - photo taken from low angle.
I never got it caught up on anything when touring - just need to be mindful if negotiating bouldery terrain
A 285 33" will obviously be lower however if you draw a line from the middle of the left rear tyre where it touches the ground to the lowest point on the bumper you will not loose any departure clearance
You will however need to get a cover for your spare if travelling on gravel roads at speed - the spare rim gets peppered with stone chips but this happens to spares without an aux tank too.

as for fitting to the vehicle, you can fit them without lift by spacing your bump stop by 10mm.
general rules for fitting are:
+10 offset
forward castor
trim as needed

Although my lift kit is stage 2 so I have after market upper control arms, and I'm running Federal Courgia M/T doesn't scrub at all even when flexed. If you go higher then 2 inches in supension you need to drop your diff for CV angles also pays to add longer bump stops other wise your going to be in a hell lot of hurt when your shock bends !! I'd never body lift my car there is no reason for this and adds more things to wear and tear let alone the cost of it to be done
