Default Gearing with 33's

Hey I was just wondering what the best gearing options would be if I upgraded to 33" tires. Right now I'm running 3.73 gears with 31's. If I keep this ,but with 33's, what would be effected the most (off the line, up hills, etc.)? Thanks for the help!

Or if you are going to be spending a lot of time using 4-low then the 4.88 will give you an even better crawl ratio.

I have a 2000 model with a auto, I have 4:10's with 33's. It works pretty good for me.
