I would recommend you get a GPS or do a measured mile to see for sure.
My Jeeps speedos became accurate with larger tires. Tests against a
stock tire doesn't mean much for that reason.

You need a new gear in your tcase.

Before you blow a gasket, the gear costs a few bucks, and you can put it in

You have 3.07s or 3.73s. Well, if you have a 4 cyl, you have 4.10s.
