The front axle is Next Gen. Dana 30 Solid Front Axle and the rear axle

Furthermore the ratio for each gear is as follows:
FIRST 4.46
SECOND 2.61
THIRD 1.72
FOURTH 1.24
FIFTH 1.00
SIXTH 0.84
REVERSE 4.06
my setup is a 4in lift with 33x12.50s and its a 6 spd as you can see i go through mud soft sand and i climb every now and then so help me out please?

Nothing
33's with a manual, live with it. Regear if you go to 35's or taller.
Unless you have $1500 laying around and nothing whatsoever better to spend it on. Then look at the chart here and decide.

I found the 3.21 intolerable even with 30's. The cost is high so I understand the previous post, but my Jeep is a different beast with lower gears.
If you had the 4.10 or even the 3.73 it might be acceptable but the 3.21 is awful.
