Unhappy Hi from far away :)

Hello, I'm from Tenerife. Canary Islands. SPAIN. I'm new to 4WD's. I just bought a Dark Blue Cherokee XJ 2 door 2.5i 4x4 only for fun. After changing a few parts to have it running properly( ie spark plugs, cables, sensors, cracked exhaust manifold, water pump, radiator, fan clutch) and a very good clean ...the jeep engine is ok now. No check engine light on and only 170k kilometers. I need help about transmission...it seems like the front and rear axles have a different ratio because when you drive on non asphalted roads in 4h seems like the rear wants to overtake you. Impossible to connect 4h or 4l in tarmac. So please where should I look first. Maybe is the transfer not working properly?
Sorry for my english

Definately it has a different front ratio. Supossing that the tags belongs to the diffs...it has a 3.73 in front and 4.10 rear Front is Dana 30 52069401 and rear is Chrysler 8.25.

The 4.10 ratio is better suited to the 2.5L engine. If you can find a front spare axle from another 4-cylinder it would be an easy swap. You could either regear the axle you have or swap the entire axle.
