Default axle /gear help

i have a 94 2dr with 33x12.5 and thought was locked but was not. the front is a d30 and the rear is a 8.25 with 3.07 gears . so here is the question , with what i have now should i buy gears and lockers for both or ...... i also have a set of axles d30 and d35 with 3.55 gears not locked. would i see a big difference from 3.07 to 3.55 or would the money move be to buy just lockers for the d30 and d35 with the 3.55 . i have pics posted if you would like to see what is working with.

If you're looking to swap 2 axles you can get an 8.25 and d30 from a 4 banger Cherokee with 4.10 gears.
Whatever you do don't downgrade and get a d35

Keep in mind he's got an ax15. But I agree 4.56 is the way to go
