hey this is what i would do if it was my truck i would go ahead and rip the cover off and look at the actual gears and if they are aftermarket gears the ring gear will be a lot thicker and on it somewhere should be the ratio inscribed on it somewhere

If the truck has a limited slip diff, jacket up the back and put a mark on the drive shaft. Turn the wheel one full rotation and count how many turns the drive shaft turns. If it is about 3 3/4 turns, its probably 3.73. Little over 4 is probably 4.11.
If you have an open rear diff, jack up one side only and and rotate the wheel one full turn. Multiply the drive shaft rotations by 2.

mark the driveshaft where u can see it and if u want mark the closest non moving part to that mark, lift up the back end and spin both wheels one complete revolution and count how many times the driveshaft spins in that one trie revolution...ex. 3:73 will turn 3 3/4 times....4.56 will turn 4 1/2 times its not 100% exact but close.
