Remember there was no 31" tire package for 84-89 4runners or 84-88 trucks... and only 4.10 or 4.30 gears...

Secondly, once I get my 33's mounted(soon my tires, soon) I want to go to 4.88's. I know where I can get a set of factory 4.88 diffs, but would I be getting better diffs if I regeared my 4.56's to 4.88 using yukon gears(or something simaler)?

the ring gear is thinner resulting in a lot less rotating mass. i think if anything, it lets them uses a bigger pinion gear. it appears much larger than the ones used on aftermarket gear sets.
for all purposes, the carrier is the same as a normal V6 carrier, so it should be lockable.
