Linkage might be a challenge but I am sure it can be done.

Manual hubs, unlocked in 4LO = 2LO. Makes backing heavy loads around a breeze.

Good looking progress. How does the ride compare to the OBS stuff? Would the swap be worth it for ride improvement over the stock F-350 4x4 (SFA) alone?

The easiest way I can explain the difference is it rides like a 2wd. Definitely softer. I still haven't put sway bars or shocks on yet.

Taking longer than I want but at least it's in place. Need to get the brackets finalized and cleaned up.

Probably not in such a publicly viewed way. I think it'll do. Can you run a one piece rear now?

I should be able to run a 1 piece front and rear. Front will be about 5ft the rear about 6ft. Supposedly an 08 Silverado has an 82" rear 1 piece shaft.
