There is a metal tag on the rear differential cover. It will say what it is for sure. It will say something like 3LS55 which is Limited slip 3.55 or 3LS73 which is 3.73 limited slip gears

I would guess that you have 3.55

Well seeing as you have a 4.6L you have 8.8" rear and a 8.8" IFS reverse cut front diff.
