Id go with at least 4.88 for gears... Most people will tell you to go as much as possible with an automatic aka 5.13 but I'm going to be going with 4.88 just for better performance on the highway.

TJ's needed higher lifts than what a JK needs. 35" tires will fit on a 2.5" lifted JK, although a 3" may be better.
