    ford 9'' ratios

    im in the process of building a 9'' for my yj, my original plan was to run 4.88's but the closest ratio for the 9'' is 4.86, ive seen guys running 4.86 in the rear with 4.88's up front so obviously it can be done but am i setting my self up for disaster 10 or 15k down the road?
