Message:		Steve, Norm's right. Those were just the closest ratios available for each particular axle. If there had been the exact same ratio that's what would have been used. These are not made to be run on hard surfaces anyway so a bit of change either way makes virtually no difference. On our rigs we are only talking .01 change. Not even enough to notice nor do I think it is on the Fords with a bit greater difference. Just making a turn creates more changes in the drive train than does the small front to rear difference in gear ratio. RR
