With a front locker already installed and stepping up to 33" mudders. What gears should I get and where from ? Also should I do just rear or do I have to do both ?

which tranny do you have? and you have to do both, they've gotta match or you can't use 4 wheel drive without grenading your transfer case.

^^this, if you got an auto tranny then 4.56 if your planning on staying at 33s, 4.88 if you think your guna be goin to 35s sometime soon. manual is 4.10 for 33s and 4.56 for 35s but use a gear calculator for the best setup. go to frank's site seriousoffroad.com or superior for gears and install kits

4.56 with 33's on an automatic is what I would do as well.

What locker do you have up front?
What is your current gear ratio?
