If you're keeping the jeep for a while it's worth the price to simply regear it properly. Over the life of ownership the cost to do so is minimal.

If you have a buddy that will go pick up axles for you, install them for you, then find someone to buy your axles with turd 3.21's in em and haul them off for you.....all for free, THEN maybe it's worth an axle swap for 1 step in gearing.
