These are fantastic, but I have not (yet) seen any that would be beefy enough for a tow vehicle.... All I've seen were designed for passenger cars and SUV/very light trucks. And if we do find one, I suspect the cost will be heart attack level....

That's why I though of installing stock transfer case. They are designed to reliably handle the full output of our rigs and are plentiful enough to be found relatively inexpensively.

Thanks

Get in touch with the dealer and let me know if those are strong enough. The web site did indicate they had units for F-350s, so maybe it'll work.

I called the manufacturer yesterday and they claimed there is no difference in strength compared to a stock drive shaft. I find that hard to believe and AFIC tell it is $750. I really didn't think that is too bad.
