There are threads that tell you how to use your vin and get your JK build sheet. Look at your rear diff, should be a tag on it. You could always jack up your rear axle and pin your rear drive shaft and count how many rotation you get for one rotation of your rear axle.

There doesn't seem to be a tag on the JK axles.
Jack one front tire off the ground.
Spin it by hand 2 complete revolutions while counting the drive shaft turns.
The number of drive shaft turns will be your gear ratio. Count carefully because there isn't much difference between the ratios.
A chalk mark on the tire and drive shaft will make counting easier.
