22re+5speed+4.10gears+tire size?

ok, so i have a stock height pickup with a recently rebuilt 22re with a 5 speed and i make it out (from the code) to have 4.10 gears front and rear

right now it has 31" tires with 4.10s, it drives good exp going up hill in 5th- which i have to downshift

so how would my truck do still at stock height with some 33x10.5s?
how will this effect my power when i have some weight in the bed/ hitch as well

EDIT: ok im reopening this- i did some research and i found out that when the guy put the 31s on my truck. he never adj the speedo, so i made a little chart of my speeds based on what my speedo says, what im actually going at with the 31s, and what i would be going with 33s..... also- i just measured my tire-fender clearance, and my rear is a god 1.5 inches higher (obv due to pickup) but do they sell leveling kits for that?

this is all @ 3000rpm (where i usually shift)

........speedo
gear...says......31".......33"
1........15........17........18
2........28........31........33
3........44........48........52
4........61........67........71
5........72........79........84

based on that info- i dont think that 33s will show that much of a difference when driving- yes it will be slower, but i dont think it will be that noticable

With 4.10 gears you will probably feel a major loss in power and with a trailer on it, it will be 10x worse.

Factory 4.88's are hard to come by. 4.56's are readily available. They are part 31" tire and tow package.

At stock height and 33's you will need to trim the body.
I like 5.29 gears and 33's you can pull hills in 5th

When I ran 33s with 4.10 gears it was pretty close power wise to 31s on flat ground. When I was on hills I could feel the loss of power. With 31s I would climb a hill in 4th gear and with 33s I would be in 3rd.
If you are getting 33s for offroad use you can always run cheap 31s off of craigslist and put on the 33s when you go offroad.
I have 5.29 gears and run 32s on the street and 37s offroad.

22RE + 4.10 = 29" tires. I changed mine to 4.56 + 31" tires, feels correct.

31's do alright on stock gears...I would not go to 33's and expect to keep pace with traffic on the hills.

i dont keep pace with traffic on hills with the 31s... heck even in my brothers cherokee i wouldnt keep pace with traffic (although i did fall farther behind in the toyo)

i dont mind not keeping pace, but i dont want the truck to be unsafely slow- or make it impossible to tow anything if i ever needed to
