Why don't you check to see if it has 4.10 gears in it?
Rotate the wheel one complete turn and count the driveshaft rotations.
Or pull the cover and count the teeth.

From what i read I should have rotated the wheel twice....but either way it comes out to 4...which is close.
I counted full rotations of the driveshaft per full rotation of the tire. But read that with open diffs you need to count per 2 rotations due to the diff allowing the spinning tire to spin twice as fast as the tire that isnt.
But it still doesn't explain the tach being that far off....it should be pretty close right?

I did that already, the driveshaft turned 2 times to get the tire to turn once.

Hey guys,
Ive been visting this forum from when i got my jeep, finally signed up and am now posting. I just installed a 4.5 in rough country lift on my jeep, and now im wondering how big of tires i can shove under that bad boy. I know what the website says, but have you guys tried anything bigger?
Thanks,
Jon
