it is possible it is the same as a 2wd box except for the sector shaft.

Hi boz42
Sorry but what is this "sector shaft"

P.S Forget to mention that I dont want to go with the crossover ($$$) for now

The sector shaft is the part that the pitman arms attaches to, the stock one only lets you turn it left and right, you need it to turn front to back. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

You've got that backwards.
You could run Hyd assist without crossover but you would rip the box from the frame if you were ever to articulate the axle and force it to steer at the same time with the ram. All you would have to do it let the front drivers side tire get down in a hole and the force the steering and /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif it would be all over.
Maybey if you get the bolt on brace from Tim or ORD it might be able to withstand the forces but don't quote me on it....

This doesnt sound very promising /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif
I probably will order from ORD the crossover /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif (very regretfully I didnt do it sooner,with the shackel flip that already arrived /forums/images/graemlins/screwy.gif).
