Your truck is 4WD, so that would work, but you'd be limited to 2WD from then on, not something I could give up. But you're from So-Cal? Do you use the 4WD for offroading?
Do you mean you wouldn't have much low speed torque? You could still have 4-wheel drive technically, albeit not effective at low speed, correct?

It looks like I have to drive it rearward through the transfer case in order to benefit from the gearing advantage for low speed torque. Yes, I would be giving up my 4-wheel drive capabilities (which you are right, I don't use).

Thanks for input.
