There's a reason that almost every vehicle you get into spins at about 2250rpm on the highway. When you're covering that much ground and spending a lot your time on the highway, it's not good for everything to be spinning so fast. It's good that you somehow know that the 4.0 "likes" revving that high all the time on the highway but that's what 3rd gear is for. If you need more power then it downshifts in order to give it to you then shift back into a normal rpm range for highway cruising.
And like I said before, if you don't spend much time on the highway then it doesn't matter, but for a DD that spends the majority of its time on the highway then that's not desirable. Start reading the thread and paying attention to what's best for the OP instead of telling him what YOU would do.
I can tell from driving my XJ on the highway that the 4.0 does perfectly fine cruising at 2700. I can tell from having read the experiences of many others in the almost daily, "What gears for x tires?" threads.There's a reason that almost every vehicle you get into spins at about 2250rpm on the highway.

For me, 4.56's and a 5 spd on 32's works great as a DD / Weekend trail rig. At 65 mph, I'm spinnng about 2700 rpm....nice power sweet spot.
I would say that 4.11's would be a waste....
