* 3.07:1: This was a common option, often found with automatic transmissions.
* 3.55:1: Another popular choice, offering a balance between acceleration and fuel economy.

To find the specific gear ratio for *your* 1995 Jeep Wrangler Rio Grande, you need to:
1. Check the sticker on the driver's side doorjamb: This often lists some specifications, but may not always include the axle ratio.
2. Look at the vehicle's title or registration: Sometimes the axle ratio is listed here, but it's not always reliable.
3. Check the differential tag: This is a small metal tag located on the differential housing itself (usually on the rear axle). The tag will list the gear ratio.
4. Physically count the teeth: You can determine the ratio by counting the number of teeth on the ring gear and pinion gear and performing a calculation. This is the most accurate, but requires getting under the vehicle and some familiarity with differentials.
The most reliable method is to check the differential tag directly.
