KOr climb under your truck and look on your diff, I know I found mine on the front diff on a tag if it's 4x4

a simple way is to look at the RPMs while on the highway. Using the gear select, set the transmission to 1:1 gear (4th gear) - no OD.

For 265-70R17 tires use this gear ratio for 60 MPH
2050 RPM = 3.21 Gears
2265 RPM = 3.55
2490 RPM = 3.92

for the 275-60R20 tires
1980 RPM = 3.21
2190 RPM = 3.55
2400 RPM = 3.92
