Your jeep has a Dana 30 front and either a Dana 35 or Chrysler 8.25 Rear if its still stock. And most people run 4.56 gears I believe but 4.10 would be good for a DD

better off looking for a D30 with 4.10s and swap the whole axle IMO

you can possibly find a ford 8.8 with 4.10's for the price of re-gearing your stock rear axle....

8.8 is a pretty good bit stronger than a Dana 35.
