Now if he was running 38's, everything would have evened out and would have been fine but he was running pretty short tires (33's I think) and it simply killed his performance.

4.30's would actually be a good call, if you could get a set to fit the front. Gears are always a tough decision because they are QUITE expensive to do on a 4x4 and not something you want to change more than once.

Good luck in the decision making process.
No doubt it's expensive! I was "friend price" quoted $1600-1700 for parts and labor...
