Today i jacked up my jeep to check my front end for my vibration problems, shaking the tires, tugging and pulling on everything in the front end, nothing loose, so i figure maybe i lost some weights and need tires balanced, anyways i decide to mark and spin the tire and mark the driveshaft to see for sure what gear ratio im running, so 1 full turn of the tire = 1 and about 3/4 turn of the drive shaft, 3.55 is stock ratio so am i doing something wrong here?

You are almost there... Take drive shaft revs times 2 when you spin one wheel and other is stationary. (spider gears double the speed of drive shaft and why you have to 2x it)
