I know that my 89 Jeep has the command track transfer case and that you are not supposed to engage the front axle on pavement bacause of potential damage to the unit. Iknow (think?) that the transfer case turns both driveshafts at the same speed when it is in four wheel drive.

My question is this... Doesnt the front axle ratio HAVE to match the rear ratio??? If I have a 3.55 rear axle ratio doesnt that mean that the front is the same?? Otherwise, I would think that a dirrerent ratio would out too much strain on the driveline even when off road.
