Is it a 4x4 if it is you need to change both front and rear. It should not be a problem changing about 600-800 to install in 4x2 double for 4x4. do a search for this .

if i was in your position and had the cash, i would go with at least 3.73's or even better 4.10's in order to turn those 33's. I think you will be disappointed with only 3.55 in the long run. just my opinion.
