My ring gear says 11:41, so it turns out it's a 3.73 G80. Guess I am going for a zr2 or the same stock one. Interestingly enough, the ring gear I swear looks to be stamped 7 7/8. You can see it on...

Jamaroon, you have been more than helpful.

As far as swapping. Looks like from Google that any 4wd axle from 1994 - 2004 s10, Sonoma, jimmy, or blazer will swap right over, is this correct?
