If you bought it used, a previous owner could have re-geared it.
An easy way to tell what gears you have:

Chock a rear tire.
Jack a front tire off the ground.
Spin the tire by hand, exactly 2 revolutions while counting the drive shaft turns.
If the drive shaft turns only a tiny bit over 4 turns, you have 4.10 gears.
Alright ill check that today! Is there any particular reason they stopped putting the 4:10'a in non rubi's?

Probably a marketing decision. They wanted the better gear ratio to be available only on the Rubicon.
A rear locker and e-disconnect front sway bar were options for non-Rubicons for a few years, too.

Man would those be some nice features to have! So every 2007 auto has 4:10's or just the ones with towing packages?

They all had it. The auto with 3.21 was never an option.

Don't get too excited. You may not like the performance with bigger tires, even with the 4.10 gears.

Mine is fine with the stock tires, but just barely.

I'm running 33's now and its never really felt sluggish to me.. Im just happy to hear that i wont be rolling 35's on 3.21's. I know its going to be sluggish. I bought a jeep. Not a camaro. And for goodness sakes look at the aerodynamics of the poor thing.. Haha but all in all i love it to death!
