Default Different Rear axle??

I bought a 2001 Ram 1500 5.9L 4X4 SLT Laramie a couple of months ago?
Is there a way I can tell which rear end I have installed (gear ratio).

Look under the hood theres a sticker that has the ratio on it. 3.55 is stock, 3.92 is option, and if you have an off road its 4.10

Na, all 1500 Rams have the 9.25" rear.

Fill this out and type build sheet in for the subject.
