There should be aluminum ID tags on one of the bolts for the rear diff cover. If they're missing the only way to find out what the gearing is, is to remove the rear diff cover. Look for the stamping on the edge of the ring gear or worst case scenario count how many turns of the input flange it takes to turn the axles one rotation. Example, 3.5 turns on the input would be a 3.50:1 ratio
