Yes, I know that when used in 4WD the Jeep MUST have the same gearing on both axles or tragedy will occur in short order. However…
If not driven in 4WD at all, is there any problem with changing the gear ratio only on the rear axle? The reason I ask is because I don’t wheel every weekend, or even every month like many if you do. If I can regear the rear axle to 4.88 now, then follow suit with the front axle later, will it make any difference so long as I don’t shift into 4WD until the front has the new gears?
