If this were a discussion of function, I might say something. Since it isn't, the OP can put ugly fenders on his Jeep if he wants to.
Looking for pictures of Metalcloak overline fenders

There is no functional reason for MC fenders with 33s on a 4" spring lift.
i don't hate um........i don't even think they are that ugly.......until you get to arches, then sorry them are funky to me.
i hate they are 800$ if you're really NEEDING 800$ worth of wheel space

Yeah, the arches are non-compliant with the aesthetics of my brain. Overlines look fine. Functionally your removing the pinch seam and that’s it, you don’t get any more room back.
Not sure it will help but 3 inches with metric 33s.
You also get some better protection out of them (notice I didn't use the term armor). I've leaned my MC flares into plenty of stuff that the OE plastics wouldn't have survived.
Yeah, I only commented on the aesthetics. Even 33s on a 4+1.25" lift looks a bit small to me, especially on an LJ.
You got some pictures now and as everyone has already commented 33's with a 4" lift might not be the best option.
And as has been said the MC fenders don't really add any more clearance than other stock type fenders. The one thing that is nice about them is that you can remove the flares if running tight trails and you need the tire coverage for street driving.
I have the MC fenders and flares.

I measured before and after, the MC fenders gained about 1.5-2" clearance above and behind the tire... I no longer bend my fender when at full stuff like I did with the OE fenders (tire tread would catch on the stupid pinch seam).
No one said that. 33s under a 4" creates appropriate clearance with stock fenders.
There's a thousand foot deep hole under that shack.Nice house and roof.
I think with a 3" lift that looks about right. But it's your rig so if you have plans to go to larger tires in the future then go with the 4" lift. Just my opinion for what it's worth.
