Are you asking what happens if you have 4:10 in on axle and 3:55 in the other? or so? If so it doesnt work, they have to have the same axle relation.

Yeah, you have to have the same axle ratios front and back. If you can get the rear axle too, just change them both!

It would work but you would not be able to use 4WD... making it useless...

So as the others indicated... No with an asterisk...

Just think it through -- what would happen if you drove the front and rear axles at different rates?

You can do it. But it's a horrible idea and will not function very well, if at all.
