I bought the Jeep in Colorado Springs, and someone must have been putting some effort into it. I thought it was stuck in 4wd, but found out it is just low geared. I know this can be changed, but what would be the best ratio for highway use?

Ok guys, it's a 2000 model with a 6 cyl and it wears a size 31 tire.

I know nothing of what transmission it has. I'm not mechanically inclined. I was trained as a plumber, not a mechanic.

Some one went to a either a 4:11 or 4:88 gear ratio on your Jeep. Stock is around 3:71 There are a lot of rock crawlers that would love to have your diffs. They are pretty easy to change. I would get a used set from a salvage yard and sell yours to cover the costs.

My 2004 wrangler does this from time to time too. I absolutely have a 4.5 inch raise with 33" x 12.50" professional comp xterrains. It does have a lot to do with the raise notwithstanding it also stems from the tires besides. the acceptable element I absolutely have discovered is the dual stabilizer. it really is a bolt on accent for about $one hundred ten. the in effortless words one I absolutely have journey with is from Skyjacker. would help to appropriate lots of the problem. If the problem persists then it will be undesirable bearings interior the front end. Thats slightly extra invasive so I dont truly have a lot suggestion except to have your community mech substitute them out, sorry. reliable success and satisfied Jeeping!

Which engine and transmission does your Jeep have? This will help determine what gears will work. Also, what size tires are on your Jeep? We need to know this too. All these things will help factor the right gearing.
Hopefully the original owner didn't fudge with the transfer case

This guy Jeff seems to really know what he is talking about. To get the best answer you need to figure what motor, trans, tires you have and edit the question. I'm thinking you have the 4.0 because the 2.5 comes with 4.11. Was this rig built for rock crawling? Some transfer cases can be rigged with a 2-low position. You might want to check that.

Update us with the year and model.
As Jeff said, tire size is needed too.

For all around use in your wrangler, I'd go 3.73.1.
If you're doing it yourself, I'd remind you, although I'm sure you already know, that you need to do both differentials.
