Question Gearing used with towing package...?

Ok, so I know the D44 came on earlier XJ's that were equipped with the tow package.

My questions are... What ratio were/are the Gears?
Wasnt it 3.73 atleast?

Or, if you have the Jeep the axle came on, PM me the last 9 digits from the VIN and i will tell you. Probably 3.73 though.

Well now...
I woke up today, a bit frustrated that I have to take apart two front ends and swap both R&P's. And as I start to disassemble the first one (donor Jeep) I notice the gear ratio tag, that had been hidden, completely covered and unnoticeable, from oil & dirt....heh, no wonder why I never saw it...

...Anyways GR is 3.54....making things ALOT simpler since my GR is 3.55 already Very Nice!

Not too mention, come Monday, Im ordering both Lockrites.
