Go to http://www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html and play around with tire sizes and gear ratios. That's where the charts above came from. You can spend a lot of time there comparing this to that.

For a rigid aftermarket arm you need flex joints on at least one side(a spherical metal ball in the center)
OP
Lots of companies have them.depending on your welding skills it would be better to just buy arms. I'd only recommend arms with johnny joints though. Rough country arms fall apart in 6 months of street driving.
Google tj control arms and johnny joint
OP
Johnny joint is the most recommended on forum. Can look here for an idea of what joint is like and arms.

Awesome thanks. Not ba
Awesome, thanks. Not bad, looks like 65 ish each for just the joint. I’ll have to call the steel supply to see how much steel is now.

Nice. This is definitely on my todo list. Currently waiting on a new tps as the code will not go away. It came with a cheapie, I have oem coming.
And the gears….currently waiting to see if the will swap them for the 4.88.

Keep in mind shops won't warrantee parts you bring in. If something goes wrong with the install its nice to have the shop pay for the redo...
You could just sell the 4.56s
OP
Not to worried, but thanks for the reminder. If they don’t swap them they will go up for sale. I don’t trust any local shops except for alignments. I do all my other stuff….so far..
