Default 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!

Jim

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.

In 2007, the tow package, rear locker package or automatic transmission package would give you 4.10s on X's or Saharas.

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.....
