You will be okay, just be light on the pedal.

I ran 33's on stock axles for one trip, and it was in deep snow so traction wasn't really abundant enough to worry about snapping axles. Like the others have said, just be sure to go easy on the gas, and I would definitely carry spare shafts.

Well if this helps any I have been running 33" tires on my TJ with stock axles for 3 years & now have 35" tires. I ran the 33" tires for 1 year before I put my Warn Full Float kit on the rear axle. As has been said before just keep it easy on the skinny pedal. And don't forget the most important part!! Enjoy yourself!
