It is easy to mix up; "higher" rear ends have lower numerical ratios i.e. a 2.5:1 rear end is a higher rear end than a 4.11:1 rear end. They are called higher because they give higher speeds per input rpm.
Gotcha, thanks.
It still seems pretty strange to me that a 60s sedan would have lower rear end than an 80s suburban.
