So I want to go from my 33's up to 35's maybe even to 37's. So my question is

4.88 or 4.56

I am running 3.73 now

Might help to know a bit about your Jeep like year, engine, mods, daily driver or mostly off road, etc...

4:56 in my opinion. You need to be able to pass at least one gas station.

Mine has 4.10's turning 32" tires, and is plenty low geared, as offroad I just use low range in the transfer case as well. Mine is a '12 JK with manual trans. But low range, first gear is barely moving. On the road I just use Hi range, and even towing my boat or such, not its not heavy just 3,100 to 3,300 lbs depending on what is in the boat, but its a non-issue towing it, never wish for lower gearing. So I would think 4.56 gears would be plenty low enough, even if you did go up to 37's. But especially at 35's as that is effectively lower geared than mine with 32's and 4.10's.
