I’ve checked the FAQ info here and not sure about the rear.... looks like Dana 35 but look at that tag... what’s the ratio?

So without OD, 3.07 is not as bad as with the 4speed automatic. When regearing, remember yer tranny is already pretty low.It’s a 2002 automatic
Try 4LO on forestry roads before you regear. I had 3.07s with 33s, it would hit 60mph in 4LO, ran like a Mustang.easy drive to hunting camp etc.
Yeah, the 3.73 Dana 35 will be going up for sale cheap, maybe $200 complete.If i were you i would pick up front and rear 3.73 axles. They are readily available therefore easier on the pocketbook and a direct bolt in.
Would save the cost of a regear.
I like my 3.73s both on my auto and my manual 6 speed.
Would work if your Jeep is a DD and not a hard core trail rig.
@JMT may have a 3.73 Dana 35 for sale.
3.07
Hang in there, at least you have a Jeep! And 3.07 is a good justification for regearing.
1) On the rear differential, on the left side of the housing/cover, there is often a strip of metal with numbers or letters on it. Decipher
2) type your VIN into this website to retrieve your factory build sheet

3) wrap a piece of string around your drive shaft and mark the string. Rotate the axle one time and count the number of times it turns the driveshaft (~ 3 is 3.07; almost 4 is 3.73)
Look at the axle tag bolted to the 9 o'clock position of your differential cover, that tag has your ratio stamped into it.Could you clue me in as to how you can tell? I'm curious about mine as well.
