Default Towing 3k lbs trailer w/ 3.8 JKU w/ Magnuson SC 3:73 gears...

Hi Gents,

I have a 2010 with 3.8 Magnuson SC w/ 3:73 gears 32in tire, Auto Tranny, it's fast...too fast on top end, too long between gears...I want to make the right decision and change gearing but can't decide on which gearing I have looked at the charts for gearing with 3.8 4 spd Auto but with SC I am thinking 4:56 would be good to go?
I am installing Tranny Cooler as well with fan...remote not in front of intercooler or rad...
I will tow with Hensley Cub Anti Sway Hitch
Would like to upgrade brakes but can't find any aftermarket?
Have replaced front end with Currie and RKS and Teraflex for Solid Steering now...
Will use Prodigy Brake Controller...
Have previously towed all over US including heavy loads bumper pull and 5th wheel from Dozers to Mobile Homes to Tractors to Backhoes, etc

Thanks for any insight to the correct gearing...
