[QUOTE="Hucklebuggy, post: 624293, member: 8504"] I'm running a Strong Box from Behemoth between my 4L80e and Ford 205. Buggy is on 39" reds with 5.13 gears. I love it. We do more slow technical crawling so the 5.4:1 in low/low is where I spend most of the time. The 205 rarely gets shifted into high. On access roads, I just shift the Strong Box section into high (2:1 with 205 still in low) which is perfect for getting from place to place. The only problem is that last I heard, Behemoth sold out or something. (Lots of unhappy customers due to extended lead times) The Black Box from NWF is pretty much the same thing though with a couple hundos tacked on the price. They offer an eco box that you supply your own gear set for though, so that helps a bit. As far as the intermediate shaft goes, I don't believe it to be the weak link in this set up. I believe the outputs on the 205 would actually be the weaker link because they are seeing 2X the torque when in low/low. I have had 0 trouble though in about 2 1/2 years. There is one little event we go to every year, that I usually do some spirited driving with it. The engine is a stock 6.0 with a little tune on it, so no big woopow here. But I have bounced the rig at pretty much WOT in low/low with good traction on a kind of stair step climb, and nothing broke. So, I'm not too worried about the shaft breaking. <iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-ka1w4apq30" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> This is about as "spirited" as I get.
