Question Rear axle

How/where do I look to find out what rear axle I have in my 2005 Dodge ram 1500 reg cab 5.7L Hemi 2 WD? I would like to know so I know what my actual tow limits are. I do use a weight distribution hitch and sway bar.
Thanks

Or on the diff itself. Alternate: lift up the rear end and turn the wheels. Count the number of wheel turns vs. drive shaft turns. If you have stock tires, that's your answer.

You can also email dodge with the last 8 of your Vin and they'll send you a build sheet with everything on it
