Re: 4.56 "THICK" Gears with standard carrier? Ideas

I am very interested in this. What is the install like for your average do-it-yourselfer? I'm pretty handy, but am not sure if this is beyond my grasp.

I'm running 33's and the swap out would be for 2 reasons--one to get rid of the questionable gears that are already in there, and two, to enable me to crawl a little better (ie enging braking is terrible on steep grades--would like to improve this). What ratios are recommended for this, without killing me on the highway? (my FJ is my daily driver).

Thanks in advance for the input.
