			my 92 bronco came stock with 3.55 gears. this is out of a 92 also but the rear diff was swapped to a ford 9 inch. which i picked up for my truck. so im just trying to see if i have to swap both rears or just change out the 8.8 for the new 9 inch.

			Should be 46 / 13, which means 3.53xxx, so 3.55s
