That thread is good and I will be referring to it. I have all that is in pic 1 of that build.

His 4wd steering gear is about 4 inches toward the front more than the setup for the straight axle 2wd. That may be an issue -- may have to move mine.

Will not know till I try it. If you have never done it, changing the pitman arm sector shaft from 2wd to 4wd or vice versa is easy if you have the shafts.


I can move the box if needed - don't want to but may have to. Won't be the first thing I have done more than once.


I can complete the axle install and raise the rear ( and drive) before any trans and t-case addition.
I have to change my dana 44 gearing from 3.07 to 3.73 in some manner. May be something at the Springfield fairground swap meet tomorrow.
