you mean "reverse Cut"
Reverse-Cut vs. Standard-Cut:
Often mistakenly referred to as "reverse rotation," the term "reverse-cut" is perhaps the single most misunderstood term by four wheelers and even many in the axle business. A reverse cut housing is not just like a standard cut housing turned upside down. It is a specially designed housing for fount driving axles. Contrary to popular belief, it does not turn backwards or in reverse. The term "reverse-cut" actually refers to the direction of the spiral cut in the ring gear.
In a reverse cut axle, the spiral on the ring gear is opposite form a standard -cut ring gear. The idea behind reverse cut is to strengthen the operation of the gear when it is used for a front axle application.

Read what I posted, reverse cut is for the front axle. The rear should be standard cut.

You'll grenade the diff and the t-case if you engage the front axle on the fly. Google the P/N of the gears you received and see what ya can find out.
Maybe thats' a bit over the top.....but it won't be pretty

I don't know, it might be closer to a Grenade than you think. Having been in a truck when the guy was testing his new axle...
"It's the wrong gear ratio, but it's alright because I welded it up, like a homemade locker!"
You can guess what happened when we hit 4WD on the pavement...It's a bad idea to mess with totally wrong differential parts.
