Good advice. I see your point, especially setting the rear driveline being near perfect for highspeed and the front for "froadin'"
The only problem with that concept is that I want to be able to drive in 4wd on the road too. We get a lot of icy days. Most likely if I need 4wd, I will be doing 45 max, but I really want both ends to work well. To do that, I need more distance from the front axle to the TC, hence the divorced case. I may need to go to a CV at the case on both ends. My goal is to get both ends near perfect. (Some people want everything

)

The lift is supposed to be a 4 inch lift, but with a bare frame it is more than 6 inches right now. The tires are 20 ply industial truck tires at 34 inches tall.

I have a married 205 and 465, but the case really hung down pretty far from the frame. The divorced case is 5 inches higher. That bucket is 15 inches tall. Plus the married TC has the weenie 10 spline front output.
