Default HELP: Need to identify if my JKU 2008 Auto has been regeared

Hello All,

i recently purchased a 2008 auto JKU with 35 inch tires installed on it already.

i am trying to figure out if the car has been regeared without opening up the differentials to check.

what i have done is that I marked the tire and the driveshaft positions with a tape, and I moved for a complete tire rotation, the driveshaft rotated 5 times and a little bit more.

does this mean I have a 5.13 gear ratio??

appreciate all the help I can get.

i took a video, couldn’t upload here for some reason but ill be happy to email if needed.

i didn’t lift the car in the air though but rather moved forward with D
