What to do?

Hi there, just changing the gears in my dana 44 with 3.00 to 1 ratio and found out that it won't work in my '64 front diff., reverse spiral gears. I have already changed the rear 9" to 3.00 to 1, so my question is what ratio should i use now for the front? The closest ratio that i found that would work is a 3.07 to 1, but i'm not sure how that will affect the truck when i put it in 4 wheel drive, being 0.07 off. Thanks!

Marty

That's a little too far apart. The ideal ratio is somewhere in the 2.95 to 2.98 range. You want the front to be a couple hundredths lower, not much more than that.

I think I would change the rear to 3.10, if it were me and use the 3.07 upfront.
