Anyone know what gears im running?
First off, I did search the topic.. Just before I get flamed for this. I just sold my 12 jk sport for a 12 JKU Sahara and I'm wondering what gear ratios the Sahara's come with? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. It's a manual trans if that helps.

Jack up the rear end. Count the driveshaft revolutions while rotating the tire.
EDIT: Dang.. posted the same time you mentioned you got your build sheet
- Turn the tire 2 complete rotations, Due to it having an open diff. (Do not let it rotate in the opposite direction, with an open diff, the opposite tire will turn in the opposite direction. Block the opposite tire from rotating)
- If you have posi and both wheels turn in the same direction, then only 1 revolution is needed.
- The number of times the driveshaft rotates equals the gear ratio.
- If the drive rotates approx 3 1/4 turns, then you have 3.21 gear ration. If on the other hand it rotates 3 3/4 turns, then you have 3.73's
