Better than the other way around.
I don't drive over 60 mph in 4wd. Not because the truck won't do it, but because it's dumb to drive fast on slick roads.

Years ago I swapped my three-on-the-tree transmission for a th350. I love the th350 at the boat ramp in the summer but miss the clutch when I want to shift the t-case into and out of 4wd.
With the th350 I have found a procedure that works all the time to get the truck out of 4wd:
Get on a level spot.
Back up about 5 feet.
Put the transmission in park.
Shift the t-case into 2wd.
Back up another 5 or so feet.
Get out and unlock the hubs.
I think choppers is a local term. When you have a set you have a pair of choppers. All choppers are mittens but not all mittens are choppers.
