Axe,

Front and rear gear ratio doesn't have to match. Just be close or you get drive line bind when 4 wheel drive is engaged.

Transfer cases have a differential in them so if the ratio is off by a small amount it's still OK.

4.11 in the front and 4.10 in the rear is OK because it gives you better control. The front is turning slightly faster than the rear and acts like front wheel drive. Basically the front end is pulling the vehicle instead of the rear pushing it.
