All depends
What do you have 2 door 4 door? What gear ratio do you have no? Did you get the towing package will depend if you have 3.73 or 3.21 assuming you dont have a rubicon. Are you going to upgrade your tires to 35's and up then probably but 33's you'll be fine on 3.21 gears.

If you want 33s, re-gear to 4.88 since you have an auto.
If you want 35s, re-gear to 5.13.
You DON'T want 33s, because sooner or later, you're going to want 35s, TRUST me.
You DON'T need to re-gear if you're only lifting it.
If you are going to re-gear, lock the axles while you're in there. There is NO point in re-gearing, then tearing it all apart again later on down the road to add lockers. Paying the labor twice is plain dumb.
