I have a 2008 "X" with 2.5 lift and running the 17" OEM wheels and M/T tires. I want to go to 33 X 12.5 tires on my stock wheels, but I also have the 3:21 gears. What do you recommend I go to on both the front and rear axles?

4:10 would be an improvement, 4:56 would probably be ideal if you're never going to go bigger with tires. If 35's are in your future, don't re-gear until you do that (you'll want 4:88's or 5:13's).

Start with a search on any of the dozens of threads in the past month on regearing. (the thread titles are a decent indicator of what they're about...)

Both of these are within the last week, and concern, you guessed it, 3.21 gears and 33" tires...

Check here for info regarding wheel spacers for running wider tires on your stock rims. Or do a search on wheel spacers for all of those threads.

Ditto....I would stick with what you have, I don't think it will be to painful with 33x12.50's on 3:21 gearing. Some people are even running 35's with this gearing and not complaining to much. When you want to make the jump to 35's or bigger tires.... than I would look at gear upgrading at the same time.
