You’re saying all gladiators have Heavy–Duty Dana® 44 Wide Front Axle
Heavy–Duty Dana® 44 Wide Rear Axle?
No, I said all Gladiators have heavy duty axles. Here is an example from a window sticker:

Heavy duty and wide is on several models. Rubicon, Mojave, Max Tow, High Altitude, and Nighthawk.

No. All are heavy duty. Only max tow , rubicon ,mojave and overland get the wide axle
Overland doesn’t get wide axles unless it’s a High Altitude version of an Overland.

One benefit of keeping the 3.73 gears is your ring and pinion is stronger than 4.10...seriously though, if you reprogrammed your computer to correct tire size/shift points and you have no issues with how your JT drives, handles, gas mileage, or shifts, there is no need to re gear. Cross that bridge when you need to. Go enjoy your ride.

Just to update this thread....

A lot has happened since my last post on my JT... I've installed rough country 3.5 inch lift(which despite the brand has been a dream feel and looks wise), and threw on 37s as well. Along with a new front bumper, headlights, and some other stuff. Still stock gearing, non-max tow, and honestly besides the gas mileage being in the dumps, I don't personally feel much of a need to regear. Let me know what you guys think.

Let me correct you, the 24 & 25 Nighthawks also have the "wide axles" like the max tow, and it also is rated to tow 6,000 lbs, shy of the max tow, but not by much.

I am looking at the 3.5 rough country and 37s for my rig (nothing hardcore offroad etc) what is your feedback now that you have had it for a few months?
