3.55 gearing is great for a 5-speed on 31s or 32s and isn't stock

No your fine, no need to worry about gears in your situation... He meant that those gears work well with a 5 speed tranny and slightly bigger tires than stock... Your good

Automatic? 3.55:1 is the factory setting for most autos. Cherokee didn't come with a 4-speed manual I don't think.

You can get away with about 30" tires before you notice too much of a change, once you go to 31" you'll notice less power in stop-and-go driving and poor acceleration. 33" will start to look pretty bad and where most people consider regearing.
