Motor?
Tranny?
chances are that if its an auto then its got 3.55's, and if its a manual tranny then its got 3.07's.
but things can be different thats why I asked the questions above.
the real question is which rear axle do you have?
when viewed from the back of the vehicle, does the diff look fairly oval shape or does it have a definate hexagonal shape with a defined flat edge on the bottom?

You may have a Chryco 8.25 rear, or a Dana 35.

There should be a tag on the axle. The tag will tell you the ratio. If the tag is gone, jack up the rear of the vehicle until both tires are off the ground, then turn one of the wheels one complete rotation, as it turns count how many times the driveshaft turns. It the shaft turns three and a half times, you have 3.55's, if it turns only three times, you have 3.05's, and so on. Although it doesn't seem accurate, it works.fristjeepguy said:where do i find the axle ratio is there a tag on the axle or a sticker on the door jam?
