It's going to cost you a lot more to get 33's on than 31's so you need to decide what you want.
Fitting 33's on a 2.4 that is a daily driver is not a good idea in my opinion. The 2.4 is already slow enough without having to turn bigger heavier wheels and tyres so MPG will suffer. Ideally you would re-gear it to a better ratio to help with the power loss (big money). You will also need new wheels, BJ spacers, a panhard drop bracket or extended panhard rod, longer rear brake line, Longer rear shock absorbers, a set of lift springs or spacers, a Load compensator spacer bracket, extended rear roll bar drop links. - oh and a 2" bodlift kit too...
Some people will be along soon to tell you that some of the bits I've listed are unnecessary on a 2" sus lift. I did them all to my truck so have listed them all here. Also a set of manual hubs helps with the front cv boots too..
Fitting 31's involves buying some new tyres, getting a un-noticable power loss and MPG hit and the option of a bodylift if you want it to look higher.
Big difference in the amount of work and the amount of money.
After saying all that I'm going to fit 33's to my 3.0. - Because I like the way they look
