what you guys think i should go to when i go 35's?
Well, I'm running a 5spd with 3.73 gear currently and am going to 4.56 gears. With a 6th gear you could probably get away with 4.88 gears without hurting your mileage too bad and I think the 6spd has a slightly lower ratio than my 5spd so you would have a good crawl combination.
the aw4 thats in your xj
Gear Ratios for the AW4 are 2.80, 1.53, 1.00 & .75.
The AW4 is a light to medium-duty transmission. Ours, our callers' and customers' experiences with the AW4 are less than stellar. They have a tendency to generate excessive amounts of heat, and are known for unnecessarily consuming more engine power than some other automatics. The shift points in the AW4 feel odd, and the spotty engagment of the lockup torque converter is idiosyncratic.
But, it is a decent transmission, and if kept cool and maintained, it can offer good service within its range.

The Novak Guide to the
Aisin-Warner AX15 Transmission
Gear ratios for the AX15 are: 3.83, 2.33, 1.44, 1.00, 0.79, for first through fifth, respectively.
In Summary
The AX15 is one of the good successes for Jeep transmissions. They are generally regarded as the best five-speed transmission ever installed into a Jeep. They are a worthwhile gearbox, and remain in production by Aisin-Warner.
