Default Need help with my gears

How do i tell what gear ratio i have? Doing 70 i am right at 2000RPM. I am guessing they are 3.55's I want to install the same ratio in my new rear end. How can you tell by lifting the rear end and turning the drive shaft? 1 full drive shaft turn would spin the wheels how much? I work every day so i dont have a day to rip out my old one and put them in my new rear end.

Jack it up and see how many times the driveshaft turns a complete revolution for one wheel revolution. 3.5 turns should be what it is for 3.55s.

They also make calculators for this.
