Default Re-gear or Rubicon T-case

So I have 315/75R16 MTR/Ks with 3.73 gears and 2.72:1 on my current t-case. It SUCKS off road! My question is should I re-gear to 4.56 or get a 4:1 t-case? This is still a daily driver and both options cost about the same. It lacks a little power on the street now but 4LO is def not low enough off road.

ive got the same combo and never have issues , if your rock crawling the t case might help . if it was me id regear since you would see way more benefit on a daily basis . ive found the 3.73 arent horrible , but ill be regearing in the near future

I had thought about the rubi transfer case swap as well. But I'd like 6th gear back first, have 3.21's.

I decided to regear first to 513, and will replace my transfer case later. I don't regret it. The 513's are great. And I do moderate rock crawls
