Great that means the size you recommend will looks bigger on a non lifted body! How much did you pay?

Could I do same size without the lift?

If your rear quarter panel wheel wells have not been cut, 33's would rub the sheet metal if the shocks move very much. Most people do at least a 2-1/2" lift to run 33's. Oh, and some previous owner cut my wheel wells; notice how they are not smoothly rounded any more.

Is there anyway to do a lift on it without spending 1500 for new suspension. If not what's the biggest size you think I can go bone stock!

from that "flex" pix you posted, a new suspension would probably be a good thing...it not flexing, means it probably doesn't ride all that great either.

Not that's worth doing.
No personal experience, but I believe the common Mud wisdom is 31" fit.

thinking about getting these 18 inch TRD with as big of a tire I can get on them without lift.

from that pix it also looks like its missing the radiator shims under the hood.
you realize with a smaller sidewall on the tire the ride will be worse, no matter how it looks.
it is your rig, do as you wish
You were about to drop 27k on that other cruiser....spend the 1,500 on a good suspension setup
just noticed, looking at this pic again, the seam is cut at the running board, the passenger door is 1 piece where the driver door is a 2 piece door.
it has had work done to it to make it look pretty,
question is what kind of shape is it really in?
you can see the rust trail on the passenger side in a similar place to the driver side.
is that a hole in the cowl? straight into the glove box?

After seeing the shape of this one I realize it's not the one I want to spend much on I want to use this to learn everything I need to know about the fj and than buy one that's in good shape to spend money on

I said I am planning going larger on the wheels though :/
Just head on over to Classifieds and find some wheels/tires that will suit you.

a larger wheel with smaller sidewall will make the ride of the 40 worse, no matter how the new wheels look.
