Thanks everyone ! Now my next task is to go dual T-cases. I'm running a single 4.7 that a buddy of mine built it for me when he was still in Fresno. Now I'm thinking of going duals with the 4.7 T-case in the rear and a stock in the front. I need to lengthen /shorten both of my driveshafts, I want to do them once and be done with them.

It's a never-ending hobby...oh well...there's no turning back now  :eyebrow: :driving:
