Gear Ratio questions

Good evening,
I am looking at a 2001 F350 7.3 DRW 4x4. How can you tell what axle gear ratio it is? Also, what is a good ratio for pulling a 10,000 lb. fifth wheel?
Thanks,
Stroker350

When I bought my F350 used, I was wondering what gear ratio was in it. The ratio was on the dif. cover.

The axle code is also included on the VIN sticker inside the driver's door.
