Welcome to the forums.
As described above, to find your rear end ratio jack up the rear off the ground and rotate the tires one full revolution(for a posi unit), count the # of times the drive shaft turns to make the tires roll over one full turn. If only one tire rolls(open rear end) then block the one wheel and turn the one tire over two full revolutions and again count the # of drive shaft turns for your ratio. If you had a 3.90 gear the drive shaft will turn over almost 4 full revolutions (3.9 times to be exact), if you had a 2.73 ratio then the drive shaft will turn 2 and almost three quarters revolutions for every time the tires turn over once. It`s a very effective way to find your ratio.
