I think the WT is a 3.7 ratio and the narrow track was the 3.909. Not sure about coily's and jimny's

ok we sussed this out not long ago..
the leaf sprung have a ratio of 3.7
the coil sierras have a ratio of 3.9
the jimny has 3.9 (man) and 4.1 (auto)
a jimny rear centre will fit into a coil sierra rear.
the front will not without mods.
the wt leafy centre should fit the coily (we did not try this) .they do run the same splines but shorter axles....
we fitted the jimny lsd (yes they did come with one) to the coily sierra...
we then swapped that back into a jimny and swapped a air loker from a jimny into the coily...
