Differential advice sought

WTB 3.73 or 3.42 front differential for the 95 Taho,e 98 K2500 or 94 K3500

I would like to install a 3.42 front and rear differentials in the 95 Tahoe.

I am getting the 3.73 gears for the rear differential on the K3500 crew cab. So I will also be needing the front 3.73's

I have 3.73's in the 98 Suburban and I would like 3.42's in that. If I could find a 3.42 front differential for the 98 Suburban could I put the 3.73 differential out of the suburban into the 1994 K3500 crewcab?

And I would also need 3.42 gears or a 3.42 rear differential for the 98. I wouldn't be afraid to run different gears front and rear for a short period of time. We're not so likely to use 4x4 except in mud in the summer.

Does anybody want to do any swapping? I have 4.10's in the K3500 now

What RPM are you turning at cruise MPH? Close to 2100 is ideal.
Maybe look for a gear vendors overdrive as they pop up used once and awhile as plan "B".

Do you mean the gear vendors that is built into the transfercase sso you don't have to change either differential?

All of my vehicles are 4x4's

I was thinking of the after transfer case unit 2WD use only. Was a link posted for one not long ago on here I think. Google it maybe.

If one of those could be had cheap enough it would probably be cheaper in the long run.
