What gears do I have?
Is there a convenient way of determining what gears have been installed in my Jeep?
I am the second owner of a 2007 JK 2DR X 6 spd and I do not know if the previous owner left the stock gears or made a change. I attempted to look in the area of the differential cover but could not locate the gearing info.
I plan on lifting to accommodate 33" or 35" tires. I have read many threads on whether or not re-gearing is needed when installing larger/heavier tires and wheels and I want to know if my gears will be suitable.
Thanks in advance!

If you do have 3.21s you will want to get different gears for 35's. 33's should be marginal, I have 32in M/Ts with 3.21s and it's not bad.

Pure curiosity, EF....does Jeep have the same packages for Canadian orders as it does for U.S.? I ask because I know places like Australia and UK have different options.....
