Gear ratio's?

I have a 95 f150 4.9 I6. I put 33's on it and i'm wanting to change the gear ratio. it currently has 3.55 gears and i'm wanting to go to something around 4.10's. My problem is that, for example, 4.10's are available for the rear but can only find 4.09 for the front in the same brand of gears.

Is this common? would .01 make any difference? Or am i seriously blind and can't find the right one?

Also www.4lo.com states that somthing around 4.10's would restore the torque and RPM's to somewhere around factory.

Does anyone know if changing the gears alone would change the speedo on an electronic speedometer control?

Thanks...

Right now you have 3.55s in the rear and 3.54s in the front. 80-96s came .01 lower # in the front . .01 is not going to make a difference.
