I just wanted to chime in and say that I agree with your line of thinking on going to 4.88's. Saying this from first hand experience, While 4.56's would probably be close to your stock gear ratio with the 33's, going a step beyond that to 4.88's is the right move. It will help with added weight of larger wheels and tires and the added wind resistance from the added width of the larger, wider tires.

The level2 has 31 spline rear axles, with a torsen lsd, the fx offroad has 28 spline axles, with a ford trac-loc lsd, both i'm pretty sure have dana 35's in the front. So if you have a level2, you should have 31 spline axles, and a torsen lsd.
