1. jack-up rear
2. mark drive shaft
3. mark tire
4. rotate tire 1 time, counting the turns of the drive shaft.

If you have 3.60 then the shaft will turn around 3 and a half times or so. If you you have 3.92, then shaft should turn just a tad under 4 turns.

They're gonna measure short if the vehicle is on the ground and you're measuring up and down. The weight of the truck will cause the bottom of the tire to flatten. Try measuring left to right..

Although same size tires from different manufactures will always measure slightly different..
