Recently I picked up an 8.8 already set up for an xj. The guy I bought the axle from wasn't the guy who installed it in the jeep it came out of and he didn't know the gear ratio. The tags that usually show your gear ratio on the diff covers are completely gone, and I bought the axle already pulled from the jeep so I couldn't use the driveshaft spin trick. Today I pulled the cover and inspected the gears. There's some assorted markings on the ring gear but none of them appear to be a gear ratio or a code for one. Am I just looking in the wrong place or not seeing something I should be? If it's really not marked on the ring gear where else could it be/ how could I figure it out? It has a limited slip if the helps. Thanks!
