Chevrolet Suburban Axle Problem

I have a 1997 Chevy suburan and the front axle is making noise . So my question is I have 1996 chevy silverado k1500 with 3:73 gears and my 1997 suburan has the 3:42. will this work if I swap out the whole axle .or does the rear differential have to match ? thank you
