Normal level xp farms?
Are there any good xp farms for a normal play threw I'm level 33 and want to be over leveled for TVHM and UVHM. Also if you know of any good chest farms in normal mode would be nice as well.

Besides finishing the side missions and doing the DLC's, thats the only quick way to get XP in normal mode, you would be far to overleveled to get anything on enemies

Don't bother with gear farms in that mode though it would be too weak for TVHM and UVHM

If you think that getting a few extra levels for the start of UVHM will help you, well it won't. UVHM always scales to your level. If you started UVHM at 55 the enemies will all be at least that, with bosses being 57. Because of the TVHM level cap of 50, your gear will that at best and will just not work very well against level 55+ enemies. The enemy scaling in UVHM means that your gear gets out of date very quickly, with most gear becoming almost useless after 5 levels.
Leveling up in UVHM is never a problem because the enemies always scale, but keeping your gear useful is the bigger problem.

Starting UVHM at 50 is a good idea. There is sufficient content in the 5 DLC's to make you very over level - you will not be able to complete them all before the start of UVHM.
Decide on which ones you want to do, and keep an eye on your level.

Play at UVHM, finish Commander Lillith DLC and farm XP with URANUS

TVHM and UVHM scales, so no need (or point) to get more levels on normal.

I went to TVHM as late as level 36 (co-op game) and it was hard to not go past level 50 for UVHM start. My TVHM playthrough contained only story missions and one DLC (pirate booty), that was enough exp to get from level 36 to 50 in TVHM and start UVHM at optimum level 50. You might be able to play two DLCs in TVHM or one DLC and side quests whil still keeping under level 50. UVHM is hard enough to start in level 50, you don't want to go over it.

I started Uvhm at level 61(!) with guns below 50! At this point my guns were useless! It was very hard to get to Savage Lee for a harold and I had no chest keys! If you reach lvl 80 and didn't even finish the main story it will be boring to play all the missions without getting xp's or level ups. It happened to me.

As the others have pointed out: You do NOT want to be over-leveled for the start of UVHM.

Being over-leveled in Normal and in TVHM makes the game easier. Being over-leveled at the start of UVHM makes the game harder.

Because the enemies in UVHM are dynamic: They scale to your level, always.

Your gear is not dynamic. UVHM is not about leveling. UVHM is about keeping your gear up to date. Leveling is an incidental process that occurs while you're trying to maintain your gear which actively degrades your progress.
