Default Gearing?

So let's say that I could get 410s for the front, and 411s for the rear?? Would they twist up and bind?? Or would they be ok???

You'd never notice a difference at all between 4.10 and 4.11. No binding to be concerned with.

i wouldnt go that far away from one another.

most front axles run one less.

I was short on parts, my donor for the front was burned up, so 3.50s were the best I had,
works great off road but, you can hear the tires pull on dry pavement in 4wd, and feel it fighting, but in mud or snow, truck goes where you point it like its on rails.
I never had a problem yet on rocks, except front axle breakage, but that was probably my foot not the gears.
If I remember the 0.05 ratio difference worked out the same as tires an inch taller in front, or an inch more circumference, can't remember now. 0.01 shouldn't be as much,
I would love to try 3.23s or 3.08s in the front with the 3.55s , for the mud drags,
