which gears?

I have an 93 extended cab 4x4 with a 302 and an auto.Its has a 4 inch lift and 33's on it and it has the stock 3.55 I think and it bogs down a lot. What gears would be good for this set up?How much would it affect my gas mileage? I just put a complete exhaust on it and lost some bottom end so any help will be greatly appreciated.

I've done some research recently... I'm anxiously waiting on my new gears to show up! I decided to go with 4.11s... most of the advice I saw recommended either 4.11s or 4.56s for 33" tires, depending on how important fuel mileage is and whether or not you have overdrive and/or a low range t-case in a 4X4.

Get 4.56's

With your OD auto trans and 33" tires you will be happy.

Thats what I have in my Bronco.

Of course, I live in Montana so most of my driving is in the mountains...
