In the back the wheels were spinning until I put it in low. Then i was able to back up. I'm guessing my non limited slip rear axle spins until i put it in low. Just woundering if thats ok to do again? Make any sense?

i thought since the rear driveshaft comes out of the tranny and the front shaft out of the trans case that all power does not come through the transfer case. thats why you can only drive so fast in 4 low.

I've engaged 4L while backing my trailer around on pavement, but I didn't engage the hubs. I do it that way it's alot easier on the clutch, you can just let it out and let the engine idle and slowly manuever the trailer, it's like super granny gear.
