Drive shafts are the same, and prop would only need the normal setting up following any diff swap.
That's definitely the tag from a slipper, and ratio is the numbers in front of the S.

hiya brian,
but that would mean it's a 0.11 ratio? or does it mean 3.11? what do you mean by setting up of the prop?
