Binding has happened to me on every 4wd that I've owned. It normal till you drive back or forth to unbind. Binding happens because the front is designed to spin a little fast than the rear differential. This affords better control in icy conditions and are all supposed to be this way.
I think you will find exactly the same ratio front and rear in any modern 4x4 truck.
But I have seen an old electric company pole truck with different ratio in front so it could steer in mud
Now that I think about it I had a 1986 F-250 4x4 that had a 3.55 rear axle ratio and a 3.54 in the front. It was that way from the factory as I bought it new.
