Any help?

It's ultimately a matter of preference and which chart you go by.
4.56 will be closer to a peppy stock gear/tire. 4.10 will be slight below average.
According to this chart 33's should use 4.27s.

Looking for LCA advice. 3 inch lift, stock arms at the moment. Tire clearance not an issue. Will something like WJ arms improve anything? Ride quality, flex, strength? Is it worth it? What about JK rear UCAs, read the JY sticky that said they're a little longer, but are they right for a 3 inch lift? Long arms are not an option, nor are new aftermarket. Pretty much limited to JY parts (I'm poor). Thanks guys.

Junk yard will rape you on cost. Probably half of what you could buy new ones.
I just bought spare D35 axles (2 of them since they're different lengths) for $40 each. Probably could have got chrome moly shafts for less than double that.

Because I don't want to save up and dump a ton of money into my Jeep that cost me 1500 dollars lol. My main love is my motorcycle, the Jeep is my toy. I'm just trying to improve it where I can. I feel accomplished making big improvements for little bits of money. If I saved up and bought $200 adjustable control arms I'd feel like it was far too much going into one part when I could have put just $40 towards arms, $80 towards headlight housings and an H4 harness, and still had $80 left to get a replacement for my ****ty TPS that's on the fritz lol.
The guys at my local JY are awesome and told me if I jack it up and pull it myself I can have the LCAs for 20 a piece. Just have to find a WJ in there, have only been raping XJs so far haha.
