Can somebody explain this to me? wouldn't this cause front wheels to spin at different rate than the rear and cause a severe loss of traction and drive-ability?

I know its just 1/100th change in the ratio, but at highway speeds that would be a serious issue right?

Or perhaps its a typo....

 

Come on, man!

 

Ok, typo is what I was figuring too. I've never heard of 5.37 gears anyways.

 

I've got some I can sell you. They help stretch your vehicle when also running 5.38s. I'll sell you some 5.39's too if you would rather.

 

It's most definitely a typo. The front and rear differential gear ratios have to match in 4wd or the transfer case would explode. If you were running a flux capacitated Atlas XXII T-case in 4wd it would just make the front or rear tires to chirp/burnout while moving in any direction ... but that T-case is impervious.
