I used to have a link to a gear ratio calculator that would take your transmission final drive ratio, your axle ratio, and the tire size and tell you your RPM at given speeds. However, I cannot find it anymore... I'm sure that someone else has this link... Just putting it out there so hopefully someone else knows. This would let you know how streetable a particular gear combination is.

4.56s is gonna be revving high in 33s...
4.10s or even 3.73s would work on 33s... probably 4.10 is your best bet, unless you plan on going to bigger tires...
