Post up the numbers on the axle and we should be able to tell you.

Most likely 3.54's. If you can't find tags, count the number of turns the driveshaft needs to make the tire turn once.

You can also jack up the rear end, mark the driveshaft, rotate the passenger rear tire and count how mant times the driveshaft spins. If it spins 3.5 times then it is 3.54's and 3.75 would be 3.73's and so on.
