Original Gear Ratios?

Hey, got a quick question.

Have an 89 Eddie Bauer 5.0.

Soon to be running a 4'' suspension lift with 33's and I'm just wonderin what the original gear ratios on my bronco are? How would I find out?

Thanks!

Your VIN and vehicle tag "should" have code #'s that can be looked up on links located on this site. Try the gallery after you get the numbers and look under the user AIM

Original Gear Ratios?

I've got the same rig, only XLT, Auto Tranny, 3.55 rear ratio and 3.54 in the front. The tag on the driver's door post has the code, 'H9' I believe, 3.55 with Limited Slip in rear.

Original Gear Ratios?

For the 5.0L engine,I believe Ford offered two ratios:3.55:1,and the optional 4.10:1.The code for 3.55:1 is 19(open diffs),or H9(rear limited-slip).The code for 4.10:1 is H5(limited-slip).According to my 1990 Bronco owner's manual 4.10:1s weren't offered without a limited-slip rear axle.The only way you could get 4.10:1s was with the 5.0L/AOD combination.Hope this helps.
