Hoping to close on a new house in next few months, no plowing up in the country, so I need that 4x4 going!
This is for the truck in my sig.
Im going divorced np205 because theyre cheap, i got the length, and i dont want to pay 600+ for a 4wd zf (i do have a 1356 tcase sitting at home though..).
I dont like ho high the 1st gear is in the 2wd trans though...Starting with a load up a steep grade isnt nice.
parts list:
Dana 60
-need to box the frame somehow up front, just fab some plates and weld?
-V code springs?
-id liek to be 2" or so higher than stock 4x4, so shackle and hanger flip?
-currently have an open rear end, cant be having that. Going dually so a nice 3.55 LSD dually rear end would be good. Dont need to do dually yet, but an LSD is mandatory.
-driveshaft, and all necessary linakge.
-hydroboost conversion while im there
-hopefully turbo it while the front clip is off
now...I do want a GV, with that I could do 4.10s and 35" tires (I do alot of highway)
Im assuming its easier and better to do the GV while im doing everything else?
Im hashing out ideas so please bear with me.
The truck doesnt tow often, but want it to tow WELL when it does. Main purpose-winter snow machine, go anywhere and not get stuck.
Listening to all comments and ideas!
