Would my buddy have to regear?

A buddy of mine was wondering if he could run 33x13.5 15 Toyo Open Country MT's with 3.21 gearing. My buddy's jeep is an unlimted 6 speed manual with 3.21 gears.

He'll be good. But he'll want 35's soon.

I have 35's 6th is useless, and fifth isn't going to climb any hills. Gearing basically makes 35's like a 5 speed. 33's should be TOOO bad.

I think it would be unpleasant, but depending on your friends tolerance and the terrain he'll be driving it, it might be acceptable to him with the 6-speed. What size tires does he have now and how does he feel the Jeep performs?
