4.10's will be fine with 33's and overdrive. 4.56's with 33's is what I have, and with overdrive it would be good. 4.88 is getting a little low for 33's. Unless you have dreams of running 35's or larger in the future, I would stick with 4.56 or higher (numerically lower) for the 33's. If you want really low gears for rock crawling, look into a transfer case low gear kit or swap to an Atlas case or add in an underdrive unit (like a US Gear) or a doubler box.

my 2 cents......i would steer clear of the birds,on a yota or mini truck they arent too bad(them trucks cant take a real tire). i had 38 inch birds on my truck,and hated it.they didnt look good,they rode worse than an unbalanced ground hawg,they wandered,and they wore out extrmely fast.they seemed to do ok in mud as long as there was already a rut cut,and they seemed to like thicker mud.they also cut extremely easy,i gladly ditched mine for some 1/4 tread tsl's. with a bird you need to keep the air pressure in check,you DONT want them side lugs touching pavement.if it was me,and it was a daily driver/commuter...i'd buy bfg mud terrains,they ride great,last forever,and arent but so bad off road.
