Default 07 UNLIMITED X gear swap.

I just bought an 07 Unlimited X, 4in lift with 315 BFG's. Need input on what gears to chang to. Research shows 4.88 to 5.13. Some say get rid of the rear end and swap with a 44's with 4.10 or 4.56. Its a daily driver, very light wheeling and i want to spend as little as possible so i dont blow my trans and t-case. I would rather take advise from wheelers than a sales man. What do you have for me?

alot depends on highway driving or city. is it auto or 6 speed. im putting 4.88 in mine i do wheeling and highway/city driving. i want better mpg and offroad but if your going to put alot of armor and tow then go 5.13. but in the end its all up to you! you have to look at what you want out of your jeep and what you need it to do. not rely on others but the research you do. i hope i was of some help
