You would need more information to know what gears you have. Any dealer can provide you with a build sheet whit your VIN and mileage( mileage just so they don't screw up you car fax.) Also, I think you can find it online at jeep.com or myjeep.com or something like that.

The only way to know for sure what gears are in your JK is to go look at it.

Jack one front tire off the ground.
Rotate it by hand two complete revolutions while counting the drive shaft revolutions.
The number you get will be your gear ratio.

A chalk mark on the tire and drive shaft will make counting turns easier.
