Get the AXLE details from your VIN plate in the engine bay. These are for the rear diff.
In Surfs the letter at the beginning of the code is normally G indicating an 8" diameter ring gear. F would indicate 7.5", E is 7.1", H is 9" and the list is endless
The next two digits indicate the gear ratio as follows:
25 indicates 4.556 gearing 26 indicates 5.571 gearing 28 indicates 4.300 gearing 29 indicates 4.100 gearing
The last digit indicates the no. of pinions 2 indicates 2 pinions 3 indicates 2 pinions with LSDiff 4 indicates 4 pinions 5 indicates 4 pinions with LSDiff
So if your AXLE code reads G254 then you have an 8" ring gear, 4.556 gearing, 4 pinions. I believe the 4.556 gearing suits 31" tyres which did not necessarily come as stock on early 2nd gens, so thats good if you are upgrading to 31's
