Definitely the front. The F/R tire gets the most wear.

I only ask because I know truck burn rear tread faster since the bed is so light. Jeep can't be much heavier in the rear can it?

Doesn't much matter which tire(s) wear fastest. What matters is they get rotated so the set wears out evenly.

I'd guess the rear. On my mountain bike the rear wears a lot quicker too.
