Axle codes

What is the easiest way to tell what gear ratio you have, short of jacking the truck up and spinning the driveshaft ????

It's on the sticker attached to axle, and on the stamped tag on the carrier housing. I took pics of it if you wanna look at them.

Axle codes

The Axle tag and sticker will have a series of numbers. You'll need to post all of them to get the correct answer. THe codes the guys are posting are found on the driver's side door, in the outer edge.
There is a sticker there that will have a 2 element (could be numberic or alpha-numberic) above the 'axle' section.
