Default Gear parts to redo gears!!

Gonna be redoing my gears in the near future, and gonna start getting the things i need bought piece by piece. Helps to spread it out over some time. So the question is what do i need....Ring and pinion gears, Master overhaul kit, im betting it would be good to replace other gears while its apart. Im getting this stuff through 4WD mostlikely so im looking at the catalog as i type. Ive got a 2008 X, and im guessing the front end is a Dana 30 front, but their is nothing listed for the back axle. The other 2 are the Dana 44 Rubicon front and rear for the 07-09 wrangler.
So im wondering what ring and pinion do i need for the front and back axles on a 2008 Wrangler X. Not the racio but for what model axle ie..Dana 30.

Thanks

PM Northridge and/or Bustabizz (bustabizz is the 4WD rep here), both are sponsors and will get you set up with gears and overhaul kits.

Cool guys thanks for the info. Guess il go with the 4.88. Ive got 3.73 in now, will the mpg increase with the new 4.88. Their is alot of info regarding gears here. I would like to increase mpg because i use it for alot of highway driving but also plan on off road driving with it as well. Its got 35-12.5-17 tires now and it is a 6 speed. Im gonna have to get another job just for all the Jeep goodies out their. Their is sooooo much good stuff to do with a jeep.
