I have a 99 TJ 30/35 3:07 gears and 3spd auto, 2 inch BB 265/75r16 Cooper AT.
At 1st I was going to put the powertrax NS in the front 30 and call it a day.
Now I think I may want to go with a regear to ??, super 35 from revaluation, and Detroit TruTrac in front and rear.
Does this seem solid for a Georgia Trail Jeep (lots of inclines and mud here) what gear ratio should I be considering for this set up? may go 33s at some point.

If you can afford selectable lockers like Eaton Elockers or ARB air lockers, those will give you the most versatility. They find to on just like an open differential when unlocked, and then force the wheels to spin at the same speed when locked. They make a big difference when you’re stuck in the mud or have a wheel in the air

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info.
If you get lockers, I definitely recommend the Super 35 kit you mentioned. It requires a new carrier, so you might as well do it at the same time. There is also a Super 30 kit that beefs up the inner axle shafts of the front Dana 30.

As for the gear ratio, I recommend going to the ratio you think will work for the tires you think you will end up with. Better to be over-geared than under geared. Per the chart, 4.10 would work for the 33s.

This tool is great for determining what RPMs your new gears will give you compared to your existing gears:
