SAS Gear Ratio

Is it posible to use a solid axle with 3.50 gears in the front of my 94 F-150 with a 8.8 and 3.55 gears? Will it be hard on the transfercase and 4x4 system?

You're just inside being OK. I would run it, but like chrono says, never on dry pavement. Not that you should ever run 4x4 on dry pavement...
