Not 3.07's... he's got an auto tranny.... 3.07's only came on the manual trans cherokees so its prolly 3.55's...
if you have a chrysler 8.25 in the rear... then yes you have 3.55's if you have a Dana 35 in the rear then there is a possiblity that you have 3.73's or you could still have 3.55's

so go check your rear axle and find out which one you have... the 8.25 or the D35 and then you'll have your answer

Or, if you want to just figure it out... Jack the rear up enough to spin the tires, rotate the driveshaft exactly 1 revolution & count revolutions of the tire, viola.. that's your gear ratio

Most likely it is 3.55's with an auto in a '99.
