Yes, on a four wheel drive vehicle, you must have the same axle ratios front and back, The common GM axle ratios for GM pickups are .308, 3.42, 373, 4.10 and 4.56.

4.10 is really good for pulling heavy trailers, but will decrease gas mileage some when empty, but can actually get better mileage while towing.
