Have you had the chance to get this quoted by a reputable shop? It's a lot more expensive than most people think it is, at least to do it right.

I would expect see pricing in the 2-3k range for both front and rear and that's without lockers.

I'd find someone else that has 17" wheels to trade plus cash on their side to go towards new tires.

OR

Front the money and buy exactly what you want then flip the 20" wheels to make back.

Just my two cents. But if I had to choose between your two options. Just stick with your 20's/33" for now.

I have not, but being pretty mechanically inclined, I was looking at the option of sending my 3rd and clamshell in and having ECGS sent the prebuilt ones back.

I went this route. Ordered 4.56 from ECGS. They shipped built third and clam. Installed rear on a Friday evening and front on Saturday. Shipped my stock stuff back off on Monday. Got my core charge back. All in less than $2k including the gear fluid for multiple changes during break in.

None of the above. 285s and 17" wheels. It is the best setup for the 4R, why most run it.

Was super easy. Used a DIY for an FJ. Thought it was going to be a huge ordeal but once I got started it all came together.

Awesome. I think I can handle it then. I do most everything myself, and have built full high HP motors, swapped transmissions, etc etc.
