Why would you rip it apart to find the ratios?

Jack the rear up and set it on jack stands.

Put a chalk at 12:00 on the tire and 3:00 on the d-shaft

Turn the tire one revolution; count the number of turns the d-shaft makes

4 + a little bit more = 4:10

4 + and a little past 1/4 = 4:37

4 + a little past 3/4 = 4:88

5 + and a little past 1/4 = 5:29

Do the same in the front; do not forget to lock in the hubs

If it was close enough for NASCAR and NHRA in the old days, it is good enough for me.
