The gearing is recommended because even with 31's you're starting to move the engine out of its powerband, so 33's will make it even worse. 4.88's would put you back to roughly factory specs on acceleration ability and speedometer setting. As Brett mentioned, the "heavy" kit is if you plan to carry much in the rig, or pull a trailer. It's nice having the new torsion bars so when you crank them up to match the rear lift, you have the extra strength AND the right rating for being at that height (so it doesn't beat you to death).
