You're on the right track, that is not normal. I can drive on rainy roads for a while in 4wd and it doesn't bind much. I don't do it often unless for some reason I feel I need to.

A quarter inch might be enough, enough but I doubt that a bit. You could eliminate that possibility by rotating one of the front tires to the back.

It is quite possible someone stupid got the wrong ratio if they picked the diff up from a wrecker.
