Default gearing question

I think I know the answer to this but would my jeep be drivable to have 4.56 gears in the rear but 3.55 gears in the front as long as I don't engage the 4wd? the reason I ask is I am purchasing a 8.8 with 4.56 gears in it but I cant afford the gears for the front yet. I haven't used 4wd in over a year (even after the blizzard in Chicago this past February) so its not a big deal if I cant use 4wd for a little bit.

Yes, as long as you don't put it into 4wd you'll be fine.

Or just don't let people screw with the 4wd?
