3.21 will be fine, I'm running 37's and stock gears and havent had any problems, sure it's slow and terrible gas miles, but I live 1/2 mile from work and only way I'm traveling is when I go to wheel, but stock will carry the 33-35 you want to run. if you do decide to pull them out, IMO go to 4.10 or 4.88. 3.73 would be a waste of time. You may also want to consider lockers if you change the gears
