Yep, that would be 41 on the ring and 11 on the pinion, 3.73. The ring gear is usually stamped with this. For most stock or mildly modified trucks the 12 bolt is plenty strong, now if you are running 37" plus tires and offroading it hard, sure you will need to look for something stronger, but for normal driving, slight offroading and a little playing around it is fine. Better than the 10 bolts.

I can imagine, I had 5.13s with 38s and I wanted more
