What is you gear ratio right now?
 






Not sure what ever stock is..
 






Look at your door sticker and look for axle code, then post that here
 






Not sure what ever stock is..

There are multiple "Stock" set ups. Read the door sticker to get the axle code, then look here on the forum to find out the gear ratio, and which carrier you have.

4.56 is a great gear for the 33"s. This set up will be healthy for your transmission.



Edit: too slow on the enter button...lol
 






+1 what gmanpaint said.
You could even go 4.88 gears if you have an auto trans and you plan to go offroad a lot (and/or towing a lot), though 4.56 is a good all-around gear no matter what.

Don't put much weight on what it came with stock though... In many cases, even stock was way off from ideal (think 3.27s... WTF Ford? :rolleyes: ), with the bigger tires, anything based off that will just be worse.
