There are four ways to find a ratio.
1 A dealer can normally tell from the vin number.
2 There are normally tags or labels on the axle that have part number, gear ratio, and fluid requirement
info.
3 You can count how many times you have to turn the driveshaft to get one complete turn of the tires.
4 You can divide the number of teeth on the ring gear and divide by number of teeth on the pinion.
What is the gear ratio on a 1996 2wd suburban 1500?
I don't remember the suspension changing so it should fit. The only problem you need to worry about is if it is the same ratio you already have, if not your speedometer will be off.

3.73 or 4.10
final axle ratio 3.55
It has a chain with a cam gear and crank gear.
There is no 5th gear overdrive, only 4th gear
Tooth count depends on the gear ratio.

3.55 or optional 3.90
Could be 3.21, 3.55, 3.92 to 1. Those are the options for a 1996.
Look on the differential cover and there will be a tag with the ratio on it.
