If you're having both axles done at a shop expect to pay over 1k. I paid 1300 for yukon 4.88s f/r in my ranger.

Would the 4.10 gears be good enough to run with 33's and steel rims

Yup, 4.10's and 33"'s are a good combo

Agreed. My 4.11 and 33s feels a little lower than stock (according to calculations it should be like running 3.63ish and stock tires 235/70 on my truck, so it actually is geared lower than stock)

4.10 is a pretty good middleground for power and mpg with 33's. since your doin alot of highway drivin you could do 3.73 for better mpg but imo going from 3.55 to 3.73 isnt worth the money your going to spend on changing the gears.
