Sorry gear question but need help
You can probably squeeze by with 4.56s although if you frequently find yourself pushing over 70mph the 4.88s would be a better route. Future aspirations come into play as well as you could probably hang with 4.88s and 35s with your terrain, but 4.56s would be a real stretch.
Sorry, I was making a few responses to gear threads, one with a 2008 and the other with your 2012.
33s, your terrain and a Pentastar you're definitely going to be a little short on the 3.21s. 4.88s are going to be really steep unless you plan on going to a larger tire size in the future.
Here's the Pentastar chart from the FAQ.

Don't sweat it hombres.
I wouldn't let my decisions revolve around a set of free steelies. They are the cheap part of the equation and a whole set will cost about the same as a single tire.
Get your lift and tires on first. Drive it around without the gears, with OD off and that will probably help you resolve some things. A lot of people have stated they wished they had backed off a bit in the gears they have selected for their 2012s and even more have decided not to re-gear with stock 3.73gears and 35s. Of course 3.21s are going to be a bit different but get a feel for them first and you may find that something less than 4.88s are appropriate.
Hope that helps!
