Default Newbie JK Question?

I just bought an 08 JK X 2door. It has factory 3.21 gears. I would like to first regear to atleast 4.10's and run factory wheels with 33's. I don't want to lift, but would like to "level" out. I don't drive this on the interstate, just on local roads and back roads with occasional trips offroad(fishing, hunting, etc.) Aftermarket don't seem to offer 4.10's, but I do see alot for sale on here for an 07 JK(Will 07 gears fit my 08?) Can I buy factory(Mopar) gears for my D30/D44? What's the best route to "level" out? Thanks!

there's a few leveling kits out there, the one i would like to get would be the currie one, but it's a bit pricey, just window shop you'll find what you need.

I would say slap 33s on it first and see how it drives before investing in gears

Dont waste your cash on 4:10's. You wont see the benefits for the money your going to spend. If you go over 33's, to 35's The consider regearing to 4.88's or 5.13's

You wont be able to buy 4:10's for the front D30, well you can always check with the dealer, but they only came in the 07's.
