how do i identify a 5:29 diff ratio with it in the truck

I got a hilux 92 with IFS and a 7.5" front diff. I need to identify if it has 5:29 diff ratio. How can i find that out without tearing it apart. if i turn the driveshaft it only turns the right front wheel. how many rotations do i have to count on a 5:29

Geess man, you can google the spin count method. With an open diff, jack one tire off the ground, spin it 2 complete revolutions exactly, while someone counts Dl rotations exactly.
Should be 5.29 (5 1/4) turns of the DL for 2 revolutions of the tire. If its got 5.29 gears.
