Open the drivers side door and look on the door jamb and look at the vin check axle code there and come to articles and got to vin decoder and look for the axle code and it should tell you your ratio

You could also put a piece of tape or chalk mark on the driveshaft and count the number of revolutions for every wheel revolution. There were only so many combinations used, and 3:08, 3.55, 3.73 and 4.10 are the most common.
