Yes,
The tcase MIGHT be ok if it isnt engaged, but the driveshafts and universal
joints are going to be really happy. This scenario would be like driving
with 3.55 gears in the front diff and 3.90 in the rear diff. Two different
parts rotating faster/slower than one another which are hooked up
essentially into 1 item, no a good recipe.
