bigger tires with the setup you have now
4.10 would give you a good amount of power

The gears you get will depend solely on what size tires you plan to run. So before we can recommend the proper gears you need to tell us you lift and tire plans. Without that info can't recommend the properly gears...

example..If you plan on 31's as the biggest tire size then 4.10's if you plan on 33's then 4.56's or 4.88's...So it all depends on your plans.

if i were you iwould stick with the same lift front to back and the same tire size if you want 35s then get 35s if you want 33s then get 33s but with 5-6 inches you will be able to fit either tire with not to much trimming

Yeah running different size front and rear on the tires is umm stupid for one and that rake is going to look ridiculous..

Wouldn't it also be damaging to the t-case? I mean having the front and rear drive-shafts spinning at different speeds couldn't be very healthy for it.

well you can have a dd and trail rig but i wouldnt suggest bogging it. i would say 3inches with 33's trim the fenders, and run 4.88's and if you want more out of the rig look at lockers, i wish thats the route that i went now but since im down the wrong trail allready im just gonna ride it out till i get a new cherokee after i go to iraq again and then do it like that.
