Do you know what the ratios are in each? You should be able to find the model numbers on the compliance plates in the engine bay.
You would need to replace both front and rear diffs if they are different ratios, or you'll have an interesting time th first time you put it in 4wd.

Mate I find the 4.8s very unpleasant on road, with the QD32 unless I'm towing something heavy, 1st gear is too low and all the ratios are too close together, plus the fifth gear is too low also and it revs too much at 110 on the freeway.

Having said that, off road the ratios are bloody unreal and it is good fun to crawl smoothly along in 1st in traffic at a speed that's too slow for the cars behind to match without being on and off the clutch constantly.

I'd say if you reckon you're off road 40% of the time, try out a set of 32" tyres or bigger, with the 4.8s and the turbo motor you'll be on the money.
