You can get a rough idea.Jack up the rear wheels.Put in netural.Mark D shaft and one wheel stud.Turn wheel one compete revolution and count the number of turns the drive shaft turne.If the wheel makes 1 turn and the shaft say makes 4 turns the ratio is about 4.00.Rocky

If a sure grip jack both wheels just off the ground, put in neutral, turn till valve stem is at 6 o'clock, then rotate till stem is back at 6 o'clock & 3&1/2 turns on the ujoint is 3:55. If single track, jack up 1 wheel just off the ground & turn the tire 2 revolutions & count the ujoint turns same as above
