the 4 inch lift is going to be a drag right there on your gas mileage. I would go with 4.56 and keep the 33's or go with the rubi take offs as stated below (just rubicon tires and rims that someone took off ). if you are concerned about mileage. You will be lucky to get 15 to the gallon.....

Tire/wheel combo off a new Rubicon. It will be as capable as your 33s but help your mpgs. But you would likely want to decrease the lift.

I have a post about "gas mileage". I wonder if you re-geared yours and what were the results? I am getting the same mileage you speak of and I am sick about it.
