Don't get me wrong, I hate jeeps, just trying to play devil's advocate.
I don't hate Jeeps, just being honest. I don't know if mine was a stock axle ratio, just ended up figuring it out because I was trying to figure out the highway speed issue. Mine had been modded with the lift and tires, not surprised if the did the axles too since the suspension lift wasn't a low dollar thing. After talking to guys in a local 4x4 club, figured that it just wasn't going to be a highway vehicle.

Fiance loved the Jeep and thought she looked 'hot' in it, and wants one of her own if our next place is close enough to town. I wouldn't stop her from getting one but I'm not going to let her drive it in the winter because my CJ would flip around in a heartbeat and nervous the TJ would do the same.

id say keep the truck. you would probably be happier with the truck, and i think you would regret it if you got rid of it...
