2.64:1 is the gear ratio of the transfer case reduction. This means that for every 2.64 turns of the input shaft of the t-case the output shaft turns only once.. That is why when in low range the engine is revving up and you are moving very slowly.
The Adventure package includes a 4.03:1 low-range transfer case.
As in axle gears too, the higher the number like 4.56:1 (numerically) means a lower gear ratio.
Lower gears are for power and torque and higher gears for top speed and or gas mileage
