Default what size is my rear end

could any one tell me what size rearend and gears i would have. and if its gotta lsd. its a 97 dak slt 5.2 4x4 club cab. i stopd in front of my house today and did a break stand. it tackd out right away in first gear so i shifted to second and it held 4 grand rolln smoke from both back tires. and left black marks the same length. any ideas? thanks.






p.s i think they should make tire smoke trees to hang on your rear veiw!!
love that smell

haha, look in the glove box, it will have a sticker saying what you have. my guess would be the chyrsler 8.25 with 3.92 lsd. open diff= 1 wheel peel.

replace the stock crappy cat with a spintech highflow. my favorite exhaust mod. just search the forum for spintech cat and other stuff, this place is great and alot of info here.

you can level the front by cranking the t-bars. incase you didnt know.
