w/ the 33's & stock gears it will be driveable , but it will be a turd w/ no get up & go. you wont need that 5th gear anymore until about 80 mph, wont be too good for the poor clutch either. i say go 4.56 or 4.88 for better off road grunt.

And you know this because you have 33's and stock gearing? My 4.0 with stock gears and 33's is no dog. The difference in power between 225's and 33's was hardly noticeable. I can still spin the tires......It would be nice to re-gear, but for me, it is not necessary.
