There's no need to change your front diff and there is no 8.8 for the front. Gears do need to match though if you are ever going to use 4wd.

But yes it would be wise to get the same gears front and back unless you plan on not using 4wd.

Ya have to get the same gears for the front or you are more than likely going to break something.
