You probably should have posted this in Mod Tech. You will get a much better response. Also, tech subjects are not to be posted in this forum. However, I will give you my opinion.
I ran 33's with stock gearing (3.55) for a short period of time (3 months). The most noticeable problem was the loss of power. I have an AW4 (auto) and it was constantly downshifting from overdrive. I have read that it can cause damage if you are running an automatic transmission due to overheating. I would recommend replacing the axle gearing in the near future if you plan on running this size tire.
