Default Gears

Brought a jeep, that already had a 4 inch lift, and running 35's. I'm trying to figure out if the gearing has been done. Anyone help would be great!

Basically jack up one axle and rotate a tire one revolution (or more) while counting driveshaft rotations. There are YouTube videos with more info.

Jack up one front tire.
Rotate it 2 complete revolutions while counting drive shaft turns.
The number of drive shaft turns will be your gear ratio.

A chalk mark on the tire and the drive shaft will make counting easier.
