I'm pretty sure its a Dana 61, 3.07:1 ratio, 5300lb GVW. Thats i get from the decoder I use. Maby someone else can verify this.
Also a ranger is just a trim level, the trrim level above custom

According to the ford truck manual, a 22J is a Dana 61, 5300 lb axle with a 3.07:1 ratio. J indicates it has power steering.

The number just means what it came with from the factory. You any of a multitude of rear ends/gears...

My 2.75 gears hit 3000 rpm at around 70 MPH.
