as long as you don't drive on any hard surface in 4X4, it doesn't matter

this is for a D44 front and 9in from a F150... the 9in has weird gears... 5.14's, 4.86's and so on... the D44 is gonna be like all the others... 4.88... unless i can find someone who makes 4.86's to match... i would rather it be more lower then the rear... just slightly like 4.90 or something... would be great... but not gonna happen... lol
