Many people are ok with running 33's with stock gears. As you say, its not that much of a difference. The thing is, once a bunch of weight is added (sliders, bumpers, winch, etc) on top of the slightly oversized and heavier tires, it can effect the performance to the point that many consider doing something about it. Now, you could go 4.10 from the 3.73, but it is ridiculously expensive as it requires oem gears, and a new carrier, etc. The gain is very minimal to go to 4.10 and I dont think justifies the cost.
We now have developed and have in stock 4.56 Thick gear that will fit on the stock 3.73 carrier. This allows useage of the highest quality materials available in an aftermarket gearset and at a great price. 4.88 and 33's may be on the low side for some people. But others prefer it.

With all due respect to your experience ringpinion.biz. The stock tires are 31.6" in diameter. I can't see how going to a 33" tire would make going from the stock 3.73's to 4.88's a normal event.....? The tires increase in size by only 4.4%, the gear ratio would increase by 30.8%. If you're just trying to correct for larger tires, that just doest't make any sense to me, at all.
