Need lifting help to clear 33's

Without proper gears, your jimmy will bog down and have a power decrease because of the bigger tires. In order to compensate, a more efficient gear ratio for the bigger tires is installed. Do you know what gears you have right now? If it's the 3:42 ratio you would definitely want to upgrade. If it's the 3:73 ratio, you might be okay, but it would bog down at least a little still.
Now I'm not the richest guy in the world and am trying to keep things to minimal cost while still maintaining decent performance on and off road. So for an overall even performance, 3.73 gears would probably be the way to go for my sitch? That's what it's sounding like to me after I recallibrate all the sensors n' what not to accomodate for the larger tires.

i would go at least 411's if i was going to change gears, i have 373's in my z with 33's and i would much rather have 411's but to his there own i guess.... and good luck finding a 33 in a 14inch rim, i found it hard to find 15's because everyone is going to 16inch rims now a days, so the price in tires has gone up for the 15, 14's are really scarce now.
