Seeaarrrcchh but since Im feeling nice.. Per final drive charts the "optimum" gearing for 33s would be 4.10~4.30s. I would love to run 4.30s but they're near impossible to find. If its a DD/pavement pounder then Id go 4.10s so not to compromise your topend. But if you do offroad frequently youd benefit more from 4.56s. I had a built and locked z71 on 33s that we regeared from 3.73-4.56s, a little excessive but man did it dig when you got on it.

just an idea
I have 3.55 gears and run 31" tires. I just changed the speedo gear to a 32 tooth versus the factory 35 tooth. My speedo now reads approx 1 mph fast, for example if speedo says I am going 55mph, I am actually going 54 mph.
I am happy with that.
I am happy with that.

most people with the aw4 run 4.56 gears with 33's and 4.88's with 35s
