Think it time for some gears!!!
Raced a ecsb with 22's all he had was a tune intake and exhaust we did a 20 punch and we just stayed neck and neck till 60...
Im thinking 4.56 will help with the weight and big tires i have 4.10 now so with the 33's and the weight of crew cab hopefully it will help
Opinions welcome!!
OR just screw it and find a 6.0 i was thinkin of puttin heads on the 5.3 but im just tossin it around!!

Having a hard time concentrating on what I want to say because I keep staring at your avatar.
I would definitely think the gears would help you out considering your larger tires, etc.
Of course most would say go the 6.0 route, but you are pretty far along on your 5.3, maybe get some heads if the gears don't show the improvement you're after.
If after you do the heads it's still not enough, then just roll it that way while you save for the 6.0.

ive even pondered lowering the 4x4 with some nnbs 20's yes it would help but i might as well trade it in on a 2wd and save the weight but im gonna keep the truck so that option is dead for now
would lower than 4.56 be too much i.e 4.88 or something or be to much
