What kind of gearing does a F350 have?

What kind of gearing does a 450 have?
The 450 (earlier) has a Dana 80HD axle, and gears, diffs, axles, etc. are widely available. ’99 – ’00 trucks came only with 4.88s, and I thing it was ’01 when 4.30s became available, so if this is your choice, look for the ratio or be ready to spend the $$. I drag 24k tailer all over on 4.30s, PLUS 0.8555 OD, so you don’t need 4.88s for anything.

What kind of gear ratio does Ford F450 have?
I am looking at buying a 2008 Ford F450 Crew Cab Lariat FX4 DRW to pull a 40ft. 5er Toy Hauler. Under “Axle” on the vehicle sticker (inside the door) it says “8L”, and under “R” there is a “C”.

How do I know if this truck has the gear ratio I Need?
Under “Axle” on the vehicle sticker (inside the door) it says “8L”, and under “R” there is a “C”. I take it that to pull an 18K toy hauler, the 4.30 gears is what I need? The 4.10 may be a little light, and anything like the 4.88 will just unnecessarily eat gas for breakfast? How do I know if this truck has the gear ratio I need or not?
