Front gear ratio should be same as the rear! lol. Lift one tire and rotate wheel one turn and count how many times the driveshaft rotates. That should get you close enough to get you the right ratio. To be exact, pull diff cover and count teeth on both ring gear and pinion and divide the two (number of teeth might be stamped on ring gear).
Good luck!
Good luck!

No, not more than likely. If his Cherokee is stock, He has a Dana 30. the question is the gear ratio. Since its a 5spd the ratio is probably 3.07. There is a much easier way to check the gear ratio. If it still has the Diff tag it'll be on there
