I agree get rid of the 3sp tranny. After running the rubicon with the stock 3sp I put in a SM420 and scout PS. The two best mods that you can do IMHO.

I'll 3rd that one...the money you'll spend on diff gears will kill you compared to the money for the SM420 or 465 swap. Plus, you keep your roadability.

DING DING DING! The 420 is the way to go. Keep the 4.11's in the pumpkins.
