3.50 front and 3.55 rear

[302ranger]

I am looking for a rear axle to match my front one, but it seems that everyone has a rear axle with 3.54 or 3.55 gears in the rear, how brutal would this be on my t-case if I ran 3.50's in the front and 3.55's in the rear?

The acceptable standard is 1% so you are just out of spec.

1% is no big deal, a variance in tire pressure front to back will create that much, especially when airing down. If you aren't going to drive on the street with it in 4wd I wouldn't worry about it. Offroad your tires will slip enough on dirt and loose rocks to negate most of any binding you will get. A lot of Nissan guys that keep their rears with the 4.636:1s are using Dana 44s with 4.56s and no ill effects. And the nissan 'case is chain driven.

Are you running another 9"? I should have a set of 9" 3.50s.

I have a matching set of 44/9" 3.50 or 3.55s if you find you need something like that.

OnlyOneDR: yes I am running a 9in, if you have a set, I could definatly use some, I also see you are in raleigh, so I could come by and get them anytime

I will go by my storage unit and double-check the ratio tonight.
