Divorced transfer case?

[zj4play]

Out of curiosity, anyone out there running a divorsed transfer case and 2x tranny? Thinking about doing a TH400/NP205 combo. Just not sure how well it will work out on the shorter wheelbase blazers?

short wheel base id say bad idea, but i know supersize k5 runs a divocred 205 behind his 4l80e, i plan to run a 205 behind a th350 if i 4x4 my 77 longbed.

What if he just ran a properly set up CV rear shaft?

If and when my truck goes under the knife this is what I'll be doing.

Swap from the 465/208 to a built 700r4 with a divorced M37/NP200 case, thereby fixing the horrible angles associated with big lifts on these trucks.

I'm just worried about the short wheelbase, and with the divorced t-case the even shorter rear driveshaft. Which will limit wheel travel. I know I can move the rear axle back a bit but still not sure. Conversly, I will gain a couple inches for the front driveshaft yeah?

You plan on lifting the truck any? If I remember correctly using a M37/NP200 yields a 4"-6" drop on the rear driveshaft yoke.

a M37/NP200

Honestly, I'm not even sure what that is? Is just know the basics such as TH400/NP205. I have that to work with. As far as lift, 4" right now but I am more worried about the useable wheeltravel for the highspeed desert playing. I want to keep the blazer as low as possible.

Looks like that, lol. It's more typically used for big lift applications, Versus rock crawling.

Aha, I know what your talking about now. Yeah, that won't work for me but thanks for the idea

For your wheelbase..


My opinion is its not worth the hassle. My truck was a 2wd to start with so it was an option for me that was appealing.

I would not do it again if I had a short wheel base truck.

Short wheelbase i wouldn't do it. Other wise nothing wrong with it. My International has it. People might not like it because of extra u joints to go. But if you get your shafts lined up properly it's plenty strong.

Thanks for the input guys!
