differential gear ratio

I have just purchased a 1993 F150 300 ci straight six auto, I'm going to use it to pull my bass boat to the lake. I have been trying to find out what the differential gear ratio is but I can't find anything. My thinking is since it will be a short haul vehicle (and I don't care about mileage) I might want to change the gear ratio to get a little better pulling power on the hills around my home. Any info. or thoughts on the subject would be welcome.

Thanks

You have asked this question in the wrong forum, this one is for 1973/79 F100 and larger F series trucks.

You want to ask questions in the 1987/96 F150 and larger F series trucks forum.

Rear axle ID tag located under one of the bolts that retains the inspection cover to the housing. If it's still present, it will have the ratio stamped on it.
