a bigger tire is going to make your roll off a little slower no matter what gears you use. It is all about the weigh of a larger tire + the extra gear ratio it will cause and the lack of HP to overcome the extra strain.

4.10's with 33" is going to be 2700 rpm at 65 mph.
5.29's with 38" is going to be 3040 rpm at 65 mph.

so yes it will be lower by about 300 rpm.

5.29's with 36" is 3209 at 65 mph for an extra 500 rpm over stock.

If you don't drive on steep hills all the time on the street or tow I would go with the 38's, but if you need the extra power go with the 36's.

Here is the chart for you to look at. http://www.4lo.com/calc/geartable.htm
