Well it usually says what gear you have in the door jam sticker.
but my guess would be that you have a 3.55 but im not sure about the LS.

on the axel tag it should say either 8.8 2.xx 3.xx or 4.xx that is for the non ls axel for the ls axel iit would be 8.8 2l.xx 3l.xx or 4l.xx it could also have a 10.25 axel in it aand it just replaces the 8.8 if it has 10 bolts on the cover it is a 8.8 if it has 12 it is a 10.25
