This should help you some:

Here is another: http://home.4x4wire.com/erik/diffs/

I bought an '87 4X4 with a 22R carbed engine that had 33s on it. Living
at almost 4,000 ft AMSL it didn't have enough power for me to use 5th
gear. I went back to 235s and liked the truck much better. I only lost
about 1 inch of ground clearance by doing so.

IMO you need at least 456 gearing.

Here is a Toyota forum that you may find your answer. You have to join

I know for a fact or the Jeep wranglers that have 35's work best with
4.88 gears. I do not know if this would be the same with your 86 22r.
Hope this Helps. Thanks Jamie
