I debated this very thing on my JK when I upgraded my axles. I’ve got a few friends running 5.13’s and a few running 4.88’s and it’s so close I’m not sure I could tell the difference but ultimately I chose the 5.13’s because I wanted a bit more for crawling.

I love my 5.13s on and off road, however with the Rubi transfer case, they're almost too low sometimes. I need a Rubicrawler now. 😎

So I am kinda in the same boat, level kit with stt pro 33’s...measure 32.75. On the fence on 4.1 or 4.56. Little city driving here in Utah frequent trips to wendover with mild hills and always headwind making 5th obsolete. But my question is, in Utah what’s a good place to get it done, I really like jack it but they quoted me $2600 to go from 3.73 to 4.10

If you really think you'll never go bigger than 33's, 4.56 would be acceptable but really, if it were me, I wouldn't waste my money on anything less than 4.88. As far as shops go, you might want to ask RESSURECTIONJK as I think he's in your neck of the woods and might know of someone.
