^^^ What he said. Level with 33"s shuold be no problem (though I can't speak from experience), but even with 33" you might want to consider at least some 4.10's

2wd or 4wd? Rear 4.11 pinion and gears can be found for ~450ish. and then you wol dhave to have them installed. Im guessing that will be another 400-500ish..
