8.8 in trucks are much wide then ones in cars. I wouldn't go by the tag. Who's to say the person who owned the vehicle didn't change the gears. First thing you do is check to see if it is a posi, if isn't you can't check what gears it has in it whit out opening it. If it is have someone turn the axle one full rotation and count how many times the pinion turns. A little over three and a half would be 3.55:1, almost three and a quarter would be 3.73:1 ect...
