There are gear drives in the transmission that come into play as well and I suspect it's because of these that there are only two ratio adapters.

EDIT: this chart from the parts manual lists two adapters for a 3.73 rear end and several for 3.07. The chart is for four speed manual transmission equipped trucks. There are other charts for auto and three speed manual.
Interesting. I just emailed speedocableUSA to get a correct adaptor as I think I'm running about 22% too fast. But I have 4.56 gears and 37'" tires so
