Ok guys it seems I have a bent from differential on my wrangler that I am fixing back. I am new to the jk world but it is a Dana 30 with 321 gears what are my options? Does anyone know why it is a different part number from the 08-15 models?

Chrysler made some changes on the Models starting on the JL's.
 
3.21 gears are fine if you keep the jeep stock. If you start lifting and go big on tires the the 3.21 gears make a great boat anchor. But since you are going to replace the Dana 30 I would consider stepping up to a Dana 44 if you are going to wheel with it. I've also heard of a super 30 dana. I had 3.21 gears with 35's and I can tell you that is a horrible combination.
