Default Anyone see any problems with this set up?

Ok now that my Jeep isn't being totaled time to focus on my upgrades for when I get it back. So here we go.

33x12.50 R17 tires on my stock rims.
Terraflex Leveling kit for a slight lift.
1.5 in wheel spacers.

I am really throwing around the idea of regearing to 4.10 or 4.53's from my 3.21's. How bad is the power loss on 33's with a 6 speed?

Any suggestions or problems you see would be appriciated. I have done a good bit of research but I just want to be sure.

Sounds like a decent plan. Drive it for a while before you regear, and if you are staying with 33"s 4.10 will be more than enough, 4.56 would probably be a bit to high on a 6speed. I am running 5.13s with 35" tires and have way to much gear, I have to accelerate the purchase of my 37's!

that sounds like a good setup but if i were you i would just spend a little more cash and put a 2.5 TF coil lift on and run 35s as you are allready planning to regear.

The problem with going to 35s right now is I won't fit in my grad school's parking garage. So for now its 33s and I save for gears 35s and a new bumper and tire carrier.
