Want to swap my 14 bolt 9.5 out with my 14 bolt 10.5, is it OK to drive around with different axle ratios as long as it is in 2wd? Just need to save money to get new ring and pinion. had my u joint go and a bolt broke in the yoke so I went ahead with axle swap

As long as you don't use 4 wheel drive you won't hurt a thing. That front axle is just holding up the front end untill you grab the magic lever on the floor.
