jack up the rearend, and turn your rear wheels once around, while keeping an eye on the driveshaft. count the revolutions........


I've currently got 3.73 and I run about 1900 rpms at 100klm/hr with a 26" tall tire.

its a good idea to use a grease penile and mark a line on the drive shaft so its easier to count the revolutions hope this helps
