Default Gears

Ok I currently running 33 inch tires on my 89 jeep cherokee and I feel it lacks power when im mudding. Now I just bought my cherokee a couole months ago and it already lifted and with the tire and I dought they upgraded the gears, what would be a good gear ratio to install the front has dana 30 & rear is I think is dana 35. Also I wanted to know how bout lockers what r good lockers and not to expensive where is a good place to get gears and lockers

full time is not good in mud, the TC allow to much slippage.

Low Range all the way

Word. However if you still want to regear and you're running an auto tranny and 33s, i'd go with probably 4.56s. Yukon, G2 and Superior are all reputable manufacturers.
