Doesn't look like a lift.. The difference is 4 inches in diameter. that is a pretty good difference. You will lose 2 inches of ground clearance.

ouch but for over a hundred bucks per tire dif i'll deal w/ it i suppose - but then again i'll prolly have to get new rims which may make it more cost effective to stick w/ the 33's - after all aren't the stock rims like 8" vs the 10-12 inch rims for 33's?
