Fresh 22re, manual trans. Runs good...can hold 70 on freeway if I get a downhill assist.

Oh but I drove it the other day on 30-9.5s (bald). And it was a racecar!!! plenty of power!! (its easier to get the transfercase out with 30s instead of 37s!!)

4.10s with 33x12.5x15 BFG Muds. Acceleration is fine, even freeway travle is possible, although I can't shift to 5th without the runner slowing down. I can hold 75 reasonably on the freeway as long as its flat or dowhill.

What do I need to look for to know what gear ratio I have?
I bought my truck from a private owner not sure if gears were done. Everything else was pretty much stock.
