I had an 06, so 6 speed. Mine came with 4.56 on 35's. I don't think it's worth it to upgrade the gears. If you do, 4.88 isn't going to be much different than 4.56. I eventually went with 5.13 because I broke my ring gear. 5.13 was definitely better, but I wouldn't do it unless you break something. I did feel that 5.13 was perfect for 35's. Mine wasn't a DD though.
It would be more of a difference with an auto trans.

Now that I think about it, more like 75. And it it was hovering near 3k. Probably closer to 2900.
I'm obviously not a numbers guy.
My point stands though. While I'm happy with 4.88, if I currently had 4.56, I'd probably just make the jump to 5.13s.
4.56 on 33s was a really nice combo on my first jeep. About 3000RPM at 75. 5.13 on 35s would be just right I think. Happy engine at those RPMs.
