I have a 88 sammi with 33s. I am looking at buying a 6.5:1 t-case and 4.57 RP gears just looking for some input on the combo. Do i need to gear both T-case and RP.

I had the 6.5.1 t case gears in my 87 sami with 33's and stock 3:73 axle gearing and it did just as good as stock on the road. A buddy of mine has the same set up except with yota axles which are 4:10's and his does a little better on the freeway.
6.5.1's with the 33's is all you need in my opinion

You should be fine. My cousin is running the 8:1, which has the same high range gear set as the 6.5:1 kits, with 33" Swampers. The tires are a little heavy, so he doesn't run freeway speeds very well but plenty of power for normal driving. A lighter set of tires, such as Pro Comp or BFG's, are probably a better choice if you plan on spending a decent amount of time on the street.

6.5:1's are in theory, supposed to set a stock zuk (3.73R&p) with 33" tires back to stock...
A 33" tire does have quite a bit more rotational mass than the sock 205's, so you will be wee bit slower.
You should be fine with just T-case gearing, but lot's of people do gear the axles down also. It all depends on how much money your willing to spend.

Oh yea, don't forget to upgrade your t-case bushings. And if you run the stock t-case mount put some extra bracing on the long mount, and use lock tight on all your mounting bolts. Otherwise you will twist things up then brake your t-case in two. :D

or just buy the dang mighty kong.

How long do you guys think the stock driveline will last with 33's. I dont drive it on the roads and all i do is play in the mud

It depends on the U-Joints. If you go with the Napa brand cheapies you will probably have it go out on a regular basis. If you use the stock OEM replacements or the Mitsubishi replacements (no idea what ones, but Trail Tough sells them) they won't have any problems holding up.
