Like Dennis said, could be 3.21 or 4.10, and maybe 3.73.

An easy way to tell, albeit one that takes a modicum of effort to accomplish, is to jack up one tire, rotate it 2 revolutions by hand, and count the drive shaft revolutions. That will be your ratio Jim. Shouldn't take too long, and you'll have a definitive answer.

i've got the auto, and the tow package, so that might be a good indication. I'll try the rotate the tire thing next weekend.

Oh Man!! Tell me about it!! I've been pulling my hair out trying to get Rubi straightened out. The worst part is I have to tighten my stupid TrackBar every week now!! It's somehow working its way loose at the frame and thus the "mini" DW starts...I can almost set my watch to when it occurs. I'm sure by now it has wallowed out the hole some, which means a reinforcement bracket is in my future purchases.
I used all my GI Bill benefits getting my Masters.
Have you replaced the bushing in the trackbar. It can look fine but still be bad. Sound slike youve got a bad bushing. And if your tires are no longer balanced, this can throw it off even more with a bad bushing. Trust me, Ive been through every single component ofmy suspensions chasing ghosts to finally nail it down.

Keep it up, and I see more broken gears or bent axles in your future.

On a side note, how is everyone?
We really need to go wheeling soon.
Not been in a while.
Everyone needs to get their Jeeps dirty!
Ready to go whenever you guys (and gals) are.
See you all on the trail!

Don't know where we should ride.
Options are hopefully near by.
Trails around here can be a lot of fun.

Come on people!
On the trail is where your Jeep will be in it's true element!
Maybe we can get a ride together soon.
