Gear ratio upgrade: 2011 4.0 V6 5 speed manual 2wd.

I want to upgrade the rear diff gear ratio to from 3.5 to 4.1.

I'm getting all sorts of different answers on the spline count for the ring and pinion. Some say 28 some say 31 autozone says 30. Same with the kits for bearings and shims.What's the right answer here?

Big thanks!
