regearing my 4x4

I am in need of regearing my bronco. How bad of a differance would the use of a 3.88 rear with a 3.73 front be?
Thanks

Too much to run on anything other than mud and ice. You'll tear it up.

I agree, that's too much difference. Only other option would be to run different tire sizes front and back to compensate. An example would be 31x10.50 up front, and 33x12.50 in back, but you would want to do some math on that one. That isn't something you normally see, but some of the mud or sand drag rigs run different ratios due to tire selection.
