    Are the front and rear gears the same? Meaning if I got the front 3.73 gears off a 4x4 99-03 truck, I could use em on my rear differential?
    Some guy has his gears off his 4x4 for sale (3.73) and I was thinkin of gettin em...I just want to know this so I can be sure to tell him.

    Also waiting for a reply in my other thread about 2-3 shifting in the 1/4 to also help me decide between 373 or 342s...

    I would say no for sure, cause when you order gears for a 4x4 you tell them front or back.

    They&#39;re the same ratio, but i&#39;m pretty sure the front ones are scaled down in size.

    If it were a straight axel front end, yes, but a newer front end no... They are not the same as they used to be. Hope this helps... P.s. expect your fans soon&#33;

    Yeah new front gears are 8.2" in the IFS so those won&#39;t work in the back. The rear gears will fit.
