well, the easiest way would be to take you VIN to the closest dodge dealer. The parts department can run it and give you the info.

also check in your owners manual, sometimes the dealer puts the window sticker in with it.

hard way:
take chalk, mark a straight line on the drivehaft by the pumpkin. (sideways - so the mark is horizontal)
put another makr on the tire (straight down). Rotate the tire one full time around. Count how many times the shaft spins.

3 1/2 = 3.54
3 3/4 = 3.73
4 1/8 = 4.10
