Assuming you gots 4.11 gears now, yur not gonna notice much more powerr with 4.56s. 4.88s would give you a good bit more than you have now, and should be decent for highway driving on 33s and the 4popper. Idealy, you'd wanna go to a 5.13 for those tires, but I don't think that's an option for your front Dana 30.
Wait for the 4.88s or it's almost a waste of money to regear. If you still don't like it much, get a 32" tire next tyme around.
