Project 4x4

Alright it was looking on marlin and I saw the twin stick, is that worth the extra money and I was thinking of the 4.7:1
gearing. And for 35's are your running 529's. Also 4 bolt high steer or the 6 bolt. Thanks ~devil2

  the twin stick is way worth it   i just woud go with trail gears instead    its looks better and actually is a bit beefier
gearing for 35s   yes 5.29s  im running them   and  the 4.7s are nice but i would only run them inthe rear case of a dual case set up  the reason behind that  is   i like the stock 2.28  for most trail running   then when is come to crazy --- rock canyons like the hammers  then i  just use the 4.7s
duals are nice   u have tons of gearing options  to play  with

Ok that all sounds good guys. I dont know if i will ever do crazy rock type stuff, so I'll just stick with the stock case for now and run twin sticks and if down the road I want to I can add the second case. Are the 6 stud arms worth it or more of an insurance type of thing. Now I have 2wd power steering box, do I need to find a 4wd one or can I get away with using the one I have. And on the 2wds there is an idler arm on the passenger side, does that get used with the high steer kit? or does does the high steer just have it cross to the passenger side. Thanks alot guys for the info, I'm getting super excited about the build up and I wish it was done already ~punk

u might beable to get away with the 2wd for a little bit  but i would definatly try to get a 4wd box   and make sure u  get the frame brace kit from trail gear or front range   just an added insurance so u dont rip the  bolts for the steering box through the frame     and no the idler arm does not get used

Well how the toy coming? Have you started anything yet and I still have the front axle if you need it!

Well this is the first time I have been on here in quite a while, but i have put the conversion on hold for now as I have bigger issues in my life to worry about right now. At this point all I have is the spring hangers, but the truck is still drivable so thats all good. Besides big boy has said whenever I want to go and take the boys just to ask.
