What trans do you have? 5 speed or auto?
I have a '02 Wrangler with 32's, 3.73's, and an auto. I would go 4.10 with 33's and an auto and might go to 4.56 with a 5 speed, depending on how you drive it.
If you have the factory 3.07's like I did, I feel for you. They suck!

Also, do you haver the 4 cyl or 6 cyl? That would make a big difference. The 4 cyl's need a lot more gear than the 6 cyls. I was thinking only about a 6 cyl. I had a 4 cyl in one before. They need all of the help that they can get.

More than likely you have the D35 rear end and 3.07 gears. 3.73's would be a huge help to you but with a 5 speed and 6 cyl I would go 4.10. Trust me, it sounds low but you have a 5th gear for OD. I don't. The auto in mine is a 3 spd with no OD. You'll be turning less rpm with 4.10's than I am with 3.73's.
BTW, I have lockers in both ends

I don't know if jeep still does this but the 4 cyl. came with 4.10/4.11. Go to a junk yard and find a set and swap them in. I have a 94' and it has a 6cyl. I just find the four cylinder rears and buy them to swap in. Easier and can be swapped in an hour. The D30 and D35 don't like big tires and lockers with torque. I blew up axles and gears once I wen't to 35'' tires. Now I have 36" Super Swampers and I'm lookin at custom 9" or D44.
