Use the gear calculator and put your stock gears/tires on one side and the gears and tires you're considering on the other side then click on the calculate button.
Compare the differences and see what combo gets you closest to the stock specs.

If you have a manual trans 4.10 will be about right to get you back to a stock "feel", if you have an automatic trans 4.10s will not be enough gear for 33s, you'll need 4.56s.

I'm subscribing. I'm almost to the point to do the same thing.
It is best if you have a pro install the gears. While you can slap the gears in there and hope it will work correctly, getting them to mesh correctly requires gauges that you likely don't have access to.
