'09 JKUX 6sp manual with Dana44 rear Dana30 front 3.21 gears. I put new wheels and tires on it a while back and a 2" spacer lift putting 285/70 Duratracs under it. I am having issues when towing and when I have the fam loaded up for a trip. This is a DAILY DRIVER. What recomendations on re-gearing can Y'all give me? I have looked around at some other posts and the discussion always wanders to just talking wheel/tires. Go easy on me, I'm a beginner at this stuff so easy on the Jargon. Thanks for your help!

If you plan to go bigger later I wouldn't waste the money now. Wait until you get to at least 35's.

That would never be worth the money in labor, IMO. If you regear it should be to at least 4.10's or 4.56's.

I would do 4.10s as you can find some for cheap on CL. I had 4.10s in my old 07 JK with 35s and towing a pop up trailer in the colorado mountains it did well. For me, I felt no need to upgrade the gears.
Dont get 3.73s... Like underlander jk said, not worth the money for that.

Negative. Gears need to match. Make sure your looking at the right D44/30 combo.
