Good to know all of the other details as well, I'll most likely change to an np205 I have but I know that is more involved.

If you're okay with resizing the driveshafts, then there isn't a lot more involved. You'll need to use a spacer ring between the np205 and the nv4500 because of the shaft stick-out length difference. You'll also need to rig up something for the transmission-mounted t-case shift lever. Look through Advance-Adapters and Off-Road-Design's websites, and see if one of them has the spacer and shifter parts you need.
Personally, I would stick with the np208. I'm not convinced the np205 is that much stronger.
