Finding out what gears you have in your Jeep

I get this question asked a lot when someone is lifting the jeep and putting bigger tires on and need to change gears. HOW DO I FIND OUT WHAT GEARS I HAVE? Well I'm going to share this with you. On the pumpkin you should have a plate. This should tell you what gears you have. If not then on the ring gear you will have two numbers. You will have a larger number on the left and a smaller number on the right. The larger number is the quantity of teeth on the ring gear and the smaller number is the quantity of teeth on the Pinion. If this is not readable then you will have to look at th e ring gear and pinion and count. Once you have these two numbers you will divide the ring gear by the pinion and that will let you know what g ears you have. Example: in this 2005 stock TJ. The ring gear is 43 and pinion is 14. Divide the 43 by 14 and you have 307 gears.
