A mechanic is not a fabricator. A welder is not a fabricator. You need a competent fabricator to install a SAS properly who has not only mechanical skills but welding skills, but moreover, working knowledge of a SAS.
I wish you luck with your SAS, but I think you are getting in way over your head just because of the questions you continue to ask.
Good luck.

Tomki...Yes 33's would look funny on the 4inch lift...I would go at least 35s to make it worth your while.... For 35+ tires I would run 529s no question. 488s are better suited to 31-34 inch tires. Yes your power will be hurting as well as gas mileage and clutch

Don't underestimate how stupid people can be! It's not hard but if you dont do your research or have poor welding skills it IS scary....

I ran 37 MTR/s with 4.88s and a freshly rebuilt 22RE 5spd as a dd for 18 months and it would take off and hold highway speeds just fine.

I run 35"(balanced) MTZ's with 5.29 gears. I would not go to a 4.88 ratio if you plan on running on the freeway. My truck seems to hold speed fine once I get over 70mph in 5th gear. If I fall below 70mph, and need to climb a grade or pass, I have to downshift. My truck is low mileage (1987, 94K) and has a header with a 2.25" mandrel bent exhaust and flowmaster muffler. I run a stock carb w/ a knn filter. For a 22r, it runs suprisingly good, but I use all 100 hp to keep it going down the freeway. 4.88's would suck in my opinion.
Also consider that when a truck is lifted (mine-4" t.g. springs in the front, chevies in the rear) they don't slip through the wind like other cars or non-lifted trucks do.
Nobody wants to here that there not geared right, but let me tell you from experience, 4.88's and 35's would be pushing the limits of the mighty 22R.
Hope this helps.
Edit: I posted pretty early this morning and didn't realize you have the 3.0. I still think 4.88's would be pushing it, but that extra torque from the 3.0 would do a better job than the 22R.
