what gears?

If i was to say go to a junkyard and find a few 4runners there how would i be able to i.d. the gear ratios in the front and rear diff. Vin# or by looking at the diff itself? P.S. i am looking for 4.56's or 4.88's out of a runner and will they be able to replace my stock 4.10 on the 1990 4x4 without mods?

Should have the axle code next to the paint code. Should be a letter and three numbers if I am not mistaken.
