If DS turns slightly over 3 turns, then you have 3.21

If DS turns nearly 4 turns, then you have 3.73

If DS turns slightly more than 4 turns, then you have 4.10


Thanks!!! I was wondering myself

There should be a tag on the axle that has the gear ratio on it. I believe it's just on the driver side of the differential on the axle tube.

You can go to the jeep website. There is a section to enter your vin. It will give you a list of everything your jeep came with from the factory.
