I bought a 06 FX4 Level II axle with 4.10's out of a junk yard for $280.00
Use this to search for one
Dont know where in North carolina you live but did a search anywhere from $300 - $500

Everyone's opinoin is going to vary with tire size and gear ratio. It seems like you understand the real basic concept that 33's will suck with 3.73s, 33s will be alright on 4.10, 33s will run real well with 4.56s if you go off road, and it'll accelerate quick.
There will always be a guy that runs 35s on 4.10s, 33s on 3.55s, whatever. It may run "fine"...but their "fine" and your "fine" are two different things. Something like 4.10s and 35s will be very poor gas mileage around town, and struggle up hills and such on the highway.

Check this out:

it will tell you the gear ratio
This chart is helpfull in selecting the actual gear ratio that you need:

If you currently have 32"s and want to upgrade to 33"s, you most likely wont notice a huge difference. As for the tranny, I dunno about that. Ive never heard of a transmisson failing from using larger tires, although, running bigger tires than the truck was designed for will cause extra wear and tear.

You have the 4.0 , you will notice some lag but it wont be to bad especaily sincce your a single cab less weight .
If your not planning on going higher than 33s get 4.10s , if thats whats going to happen buy a FX4 rear axle with 4.10s will be cheaper that regearing your current axle plus its stronger then all you have to worry about is the front .
If you think you will ever go bigger than 33s Ie 35s go ahead and get 4.56s front and rear will cost you probbally over a grand , while your at it if you wanted a locker it will be cheaper for them to put it in while there doing the gears , where as if you have it done later they will make you pay for tearing down and resetting the axel up , it will be a larger intail investment but it will pay off in the long run.

Agreed. I've got the 4.0, auto trans, 4.56 gears and 33s. Works great for low range offroad and gets up to speed on highway without issues.
