[QUOTE="64FJ40, post: 767637, member: 16057"] It sounds like you have a few different issues, but the tranny only solves part of your problem (and creates new problems at the same time). With an NV4500, you'll add like 10" (guess) to your drivetrain. Can your rear driveshaft absorb that and still be functional? The J40 tranny is fairly short compared to most modern transmissions. Which t-case are you planning to use? Are you going to swap in a centered rear axle to accomodate the centered output of the t-case? Did you have a stiffening bracket on your stock transfer case when you cracked it? If not, you ought to know better... :looser: I'm not trying to bust on your ideas because I'd love a 4500, but it's not the easiest fit in a SWB rig that you're trying to keep street legal (i.e. axles under the sheet metal).
