Front and rear gearing

[jimwww]

I have a lifted XJ and 33 x 12 mudders - just got it - How do I tell what gearing is in the front and rear? How do I know if the previous owner put in higher gearing?

Do I lift the back up - turn the rear tire and watch the shaft and if the tire turns 3.7 times for 1 rotation of the shaft - that tells me if it is 3.73? Need some help.

That is exactly what you do. You already knew the answer. Was this a test??? Did we pass???

It ain't rap it is Bluegrass. If there was any rap played in this house there would be some serious damage done to someone or something.
