yep 44 and a 60 rear

**JIMs70GMC** · 07-10-2005, 08:10 PM

I agree, need to get rid of those front blocks. The front is a closed knuckle 44. And the rear a dana60 as said. Did I mention you need to get rid of those front blocks?

DLRichards85 · 07-10-2005, 09:56 PM

why do i need to get rid of the lift blocks? should i just get lift springs?

shilo · 07-10-2005, 10:02 PM

those blocks could get roll out and you will be in a tight spot pretty quick

**kwmech** · 07-11-2005, 01:23 AM

By the way did anybody mention about removing those front blocks?

DLRichards85 · 07-11-2005, 01:43 AM

So.... What should I do insted of blocks?

Your transfer case looks like a NP201 in case your wondering.

I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, but you really should remove them front blocks. You will have to get lift springs to replace them. I'm not sure if any of the major companies make lift springs for your year/model. If you go to a spring shop they can make almost anything you want.

HeavyK20 · 07-11-2005, 10:03 AM

Use lift springs instead of the blocks.

DLRichards85 · 07-11-2005, 12:06 PM

Thanks guys! you have all been a great help.

DLRichards85 · 07-11-2005, 11:03 PM

NP201 isn't that a 2 stick? I think this is a 1 stick could it be a 205...... it looks like it has a hook up for an electronic something or other. Any Ideas??

Americanrider · 07-12-2005, 12:02 PM

Look at the back side of your transfer, if it has a small round plate with 3 bolts holding it on it's a 205.

DLRichards85 · 07-13-2005, 12:59 AM

doesnt look like any bolts are holding it on.

Nope, definitely a NP201.

not only should you remove the front blocks because they're dangerous, but becaus eits also illegal in all 50 states to have them there.
