Of course it can work with different gears. They do not determine the overall ratio. Same axle ratios need same diameter tires. Unequal ratios need unequal diameter tires.

If he has a 3.23 ratio in the rear, and he puts a 3.07 ratio in the front . . . then all he has to do is have tires that are 1 1/2" smaller diameter in front to make all the wheels turn the same speed.

3.23 with 29" tires turns the same speed as 3.15 with 28.5" tires and that turns the same as 3.07 with 27.5" tires. All available in standard tire sizes.

Technically, 4WDs are supposed to be engineer with the front drive turning just slightly faster then the back. It makes the rig go straigher and handle better with the front pulling more then the back is pushing.
