2wd add a transfer case?

I love my truck even though it's a 2WD. I put in a eaton elocker with the 3.55 gears but I use it on the farm alot and to get moving with a 500 bushel wagon I need a little extra pull so I was either thinking of buying a 2speed box with really low gearing like 3.55 and 6somethings or put in a transfercase on my C6 just for the 4LO. What would be the cheaper route? If anybody knows where I can buy a add on in drive line box for cheap I would appreciate it or what it takes it to add a Tcase.

Cheaper just to buy a 4wd. lol You can swap in a t-case but you'll need the t-case, a 4wd transmission (or the tailshaft for yours for a 4wd), the linkage, cab floor plate and a new rear driveshaft. I believe that's it for that lol.

What motor are you running? Maybe switching up to a 351w or a 460 would be better for you. 4wd isn't gonna help you pull if the torque isn't there.

Cheapest option is to regear for something like 4.11's or 4.10s.
