Read this for gears (pulled from another thread)
If you want to know for sure, and remove all doubt, do this:
Chock the right rear tire, fore and aft.
Put the transmission in neutral.
Emergency brake off.
Jack the left rear tire off the ground.
Put a jack stand under the frame, just in case the jack fails (had to add this).
Put an index mark on the aft end of the drive shaft, visible from the left rear wheel.
Put an index mark on the left rear tire at the 6 o'clock position.
Rotate the left rear tire 2 complete revolutions while counting how many times the index mark on the drive shaft passes its original position.
That number will be your axle ratio.
Remove jackstand and lower jack.
Put transmission in gear and/or apply emergency brake.
Remove chocks.

Thank you. i'll definitely look into it.
Also, I still can't figure out what size lift i have... I would like to change my shocks but would probably need to know the size to be able to get the right one... right...?

You can always put some extra work into it by disconnecting the sway bar and one end of the shocks, then jack up one side to full stuff and measure from the upper shock mount to the lower shock mount. This should be your collapsed shock length, then drop the axel until the springs are at full length and measure again. That will give you the extended length. Get shocks that are slightly less for collapsed (so your bumpstops do that work for you) and then make sure the extended length is not longer (or your springs might fall out). That should give you the maximum flex.
The collapsed length being shorter is most important so you don't bust them going full stuff. Most shocks reach their extended limit well before the springs, this won't hurt them. This is how I plan on doing mine when I change.

To measure your lift height, get a tape out and measure the distance from the top to the bottom of your coil springs. Do the front and the rear. I'll go out and measure mine and let you know how it turns out. Should be able to figure it out this way.
Most probably it's a 2.5 to 3" lift.
