RE: rear end gear ratio
make sure the entire rear end is off the ground...
try rotating the driveshaft and note how far the tire turns... instead of noting the axles turning
try centering the valve stem straight down and rotate the driveshaft 3 times....
if the valve stem go around and passes the center facing straight down, youve got 2.73's. you SHOULD be able to figure it out easier if you turn the driveshaft, not the tire

RE: rear end gear ratio
Here's the best way to do it, IMO:
Rotate the tire until the valvestem is at the very bottom (or top, whichever you prefer). Make a mark with chalk/whiteout/something on the lowest portion of the driveshaft. Turn the wheel 10 full times (more accurate) and count the rotations. Better yet, make someone else do it. 3.73's would make the driveshaft rotate 37.3 times.

Dude you only have to rotate the tire one revolution. Any more than that just make extra work for yourself.[&:]
