http://www.wallaceracing.com/calc-gear-tire-rpm-mph.php Looks like a 4.30-4.4 in the front to equal out.

PS: I am assuming the axle speed from the front and rear from the transfer case is the same for both axles.

I've ran staggered gearing in the sand forever. It won't bind, promise. Pavement/concrete, better bump it to 2 wheel before getting on the hard stuff.
