You may want to reconsider using the auto hubs as they are not all that reliable...especially in the colder climates

I hear that alot,,, I run a set on my 89 v2500 for ~600k miles and never had an issue.

With my Dentside, even with high pinion 44, the drive shaft angle is steep and not good at highway speeds. This is not a wheeling truck,, but in the snow ice it is nice to engage 4wd when needed and disengage when on the highway.
