Stock trans and tcase. Stock engine. Right now have differnt gears in front and back. Kept blowing thru rear ends this was the only way I could afford to get this back on the road. It's my sons truck. Between him, me his mother, my husband, my sister and her boyfriend we are the only ones to work on it. I know he needs bigger gears to run those big tires but every time I have the money for them something else comes up so I just for now am trying to keep it drive able for him.

I have a picture of where it snaps off at. We are getting the part out of a pick and pull place because I cannot afford a factory order on that part.
Going to need a longer driveshaft, correct the angle AND replace the gears in either axle so they match or you'll keep having issues breaking parts.
