I have 33's with 373's They work ok. I would like more gear though thats just me. But I am going to wait for 456 gears and 36' at the end of the year.

The factory tires are basically 32", so there is not much difference going to a 33".

imho, 33" tires, with a 3:73 is marginal with a psd.... i just went to a 33.4" tire, and my SOP acceleration is way down...feels like i added about half a second zero to sixty....in a 5.4, this would make it feel like a 6 cyl more than likely. i know for certain, if i ever go with a 35" tire, ill be swapping to 4:30's.

good luck
