Gears

What is a good gear ratio for a 2000 XJ with 33. I use the jeep as a DD so I would like to help it on take off but still be able to do a decent speed on HWY. without revs being too high. What do u guys suggest. Was thinking 4.10 considering I have 3.55 stock.

I have 33" tires and 4.56 ratio with auto transmission. it's perfect on the freeway. it accelerates great 65mph at 2250rpm and will do 80mph easy but I dont drive it that fast. dont be afraid of high rpm though these 4.0's like spinning high
