mvusse Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 The stock 2wd drive shaft will be too long as the transfer case bring the output back about a foot. One solution is to have a shop shorten and rebalance your 2wd drive shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Having your 2wd shaft cut down will most likely cost less than tracking down the shaft you actually need. Not only are our trucks old and rare... but a good portion of them rolled out of the factory 2wd. I paid $108 for a cut, balance, and two new spicer U-joints.

case5412 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Yep, two days ago my truck was 2WD and now I realize that the drive shaft is a couple inches to long. Guess I'll be getting it cut down to size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
