More power

What is the best way to get more out of this sluggish 3.8 engine in my 2009 wrangler without going into the engine?

Sell it and buy something better?

regear the axles or tcase. Supercharger.

I hear stickers can add 5-20hp depending on the brand.

Re-gear it.
That engine was never intended to be a power house. As such, if you attempt to make it one, it's longevity will be shortened.
Instead, have the axles re-geared and gain a mechanical advantage at all speeds.

Sell it and buy a 2012 or newer model.

As stated above. A Yeti or Salt Life sticker should give you 5 to 10 extra horsepower. Raise the front squat the rear and you'll be in the 25 hp range. Add a fart pipe and there won't be a dyno that can handle it.

As of right now the jeep is 100% stock

What gear ratio is it and is it an automatic or manual?

It's a 6 speed manual and not sure of the gear ratio.
