someone will be able to give you better info, but the ratio changed when the motor went from carby to efi. the carby's have a ratio of 5.12 (i think) and the efi's a ratio of 4.88 (i think)

i'm sure someone else will be able to give ya more concrete info

not so much a question of ratio. I have been told it's just unbolt the centres and change front to rear and vice versa!!

some have a 10 bolt crown wheel and some have 12 bolt and the ratios are different.

The front fits both ends of a sierra but the rear is a different size.
