A hi-pinion 44 with aftermarket shafts would work fine and so would a 8.8. If it was me looking to run 37s on a Cherokee I would go with a hi-pinion 44 and a 8.8 and run 5.13 gears and ARBs front & rear with a 4-1 tera flex gear set for my 231 transfer case giving me a crawl ratio of 78.6 with a manual or 57.4 with an automatic. I would do the 8.8 now and when I got ready to go to the 37s all I would have to do would be upgrade the d30 to a d44. That is just me though.

u know what after thinking about it i think im gonna hold out and try and do it your way. So what vehicle with the 8.8 should i be looking for? Also with the 44.

if you go on randys ring and pinion they will have cheaper prices than 4wp and they also have little diagrams to help you figure out what axle you have.
i vote randys over 4wp

You want a 8.8 from an explorer with thirty one spline axles, and disc brakes. Call the JYs in your area and ask for one with the 31 splines, and disc brakes, with 4.10 gears. I think about 97+ but not sure. As for the hi pinion 44 that will fit the Cherokee I'm not sure, but probably a Rubicon from a TJ or aftermarket.
You could replace the ring and pinion with 4.10s in the hi pinion 30 and run 35s no problem toss in a couple of lockers and you would be good for most anything out there.
