What axle gears do you have now?
The ratios available for the stock D30 and D35 axles are 3.07, 3.55, 3.73, 4.10, 4.56, and 4.88 :-D
The easiest and possible cheapest method is to find a used set of TJ 4banger axles with 4.10 gears and swap them straight in. Can be easier than setting up two ring and pinion sets.[addsig]

yeah what bounty hunter said....you prolly find that it is cheaper in the long run to swap out axles for those 4.10's of a 4 banger than it is to buy new ring and pinion + install kit. i am in the process of buying a d30 and d35 with 4.10 out of a four banger.

My new TJ has 3.73 with front dana 30 and i'm going to guess the rear is the same but iwth a dana 35 or 44? People tell me that i really don't need the gearing change for 33" But on all of the web sites i visited it says to change gearing to 4.11 to 4.27ish to get good power but not sucking all my gas away.[addsig]

If you have the 4.0L Sport with auto and 3.73 gears, you just may have the D44 rear axle. A friend of mine wheels his hard with 35" tires and 3.73 gears. The auto transmission multiplies torque, so you can get by with a taller gear ratio than if you had the 5spd. His crawl speed is a little too fast, requiring riding the brakes, but it does fine onroad with the big heavy meats.[addsig]

The X did not come with a D44 rear axle, so you have the D35. Most 4.0L and 4.2L 5speeds came with 3.07 axle gears. If this is the case, you'd definately need 4.10 gears if you go with 33" or larger tires.[addsig]
