Axle Ratio

What is the actual axle ratio for an L1 with the stock 275/60R17s?

I've been wondering what tire size would the truck need to have to get the 4.10:1 axle ratio. Would it need 235/75R15s or did SVT get the 4.10s with the 275/60s?

The stock rear axle ratio in a Gen1 Lightning
is 4.10.

Tire size has nothing to do with axle ratios, only the final drive ratio..Yes our trucks do have 4.10 axle ratio.

Ok, then what is the final drive ratio?

In what gear?

Final drive takes into account the tire diameter,as well as transmission ratios..Why do you want to know?

4.10s with the 275/60s is how it came from the factory.So if you change size of tires up or down you will effect final drive.I dont have a number for ya sorry.
