Default another gear question

alright, so i was just pondering quietly to myself and i came up with another question. Since I'm leveling my truck and getting bigger tires I'm going to regear the rear axle to 4.56's right. but since i have four wheel drive do i need to do something to the front axle as well?

If you regear the rear you have to put the same gear ratio in the front.

so do i have have to buy two sets of gears or does it come i a 4 wheel drive set for front and rear. sorry for the questions, i'm researching right now and don't know much. It's just that it's my baby and i don't want to screw it up.


1 more thing, I was just wondering what is a good brand for gears, and where to get them. I was looking at richmond gears, but i've heard a lot of bad things, so i need a new option. thanks.

I think some companies have front and rear packages. You just have to look around. I don't have any suggestions for you. I just know from what I have seen in 4 wheel magazines.
