3.55 in a 1 ton 4x4 with a big block? Was that an option or has my axle been swapped? I was expecting something closer to 4.10s.

You could just jack the rear axle up and spin the rear tire and count how many roations the axle has.

My brother's 91 F250 460 E4OD has 3.55 Open diff gears. It kinda saddened me but hey just means you can put whatever gears you need/want in their with a great locker and have an excuse for it.

This now brings up another question if anyone has any input. I tow a travel trailer that weights 7200lbs dry and about 7500-7700 lbs with water and gear.
Can I using the same axle change my gearing to like a 4.3 set-up? Is their like a kit you can buy online for all the correct parts
so that I can swap out the gearing? Is it super expensive for parts?
EDIT- Just thinking now, its a 4wd does this mean I'd have to change the front as well?
EDIT- Yes I'd have to change both & wow that's pricey. 1100$ and I'm not sure if I could do the gear lash adjustment or not.
