Going from 4.10s to 4.88s with an automatic is a waste of money.
Automatic JKS should have come wig 4.56 or 4.88 gears for stock size tires from the factory.
For 35s and an automatic, you need 5.38 gears to even come close to the power and rpm levels of a stock 6 speed Rubi on stock Rubi tires.
5.13s would be okay if you live in a flat, sea level area.
4.10s will be unbearable if you live at a high mountain elevation or windy area.
Until then, turn off the OD when the tranny starts gear hunting.

Check with your local shops before buying yourself. Some will offer better prices and better warranties if you buy through them.
Try 4WD and Northridge if you do purchase yourself. Both are sponsors, so you can PM them with questions if you need more info than just their websites.

If your dads shop does gear swaps, I'm very envious of you! Good luck with the gears. Have fun.
