Default Changing the front end, what RPO

changing the front end out in my 98 blazer what RPO tells me the gear ratio so I know if I have to change out the rear end too or if the donor has the same ratio saving me tons of work.

Not all ratios were available in all year models.

thanks.. I found the RPO on mine that says it is a GT4 G80 but for the life of me I dont think it ever kicked into posi mode.. the Donor Blazer I got for the front end has a RPO of GU6 so I guess i'll be switching out the whole rear end too.. or can i just change out the ring and pinion? would be nice if I could keep the posi and use the donor gears. I know I know... ( i'm a Gear ratio newby ) never had to work on them before though..
