That being the case, driveline angles should be fine.

The other (IMO) good thing about this one as opposed to the GV's, is that once in either gear, it can be left there.
I'll be able to just drive around unloaded shifted into the overdrive gear.
Yes it will be only for 2wd operation but that's fine.

This overdrive will give me roughly a 3:23 final drive when engaged.
Add this to the 33" tall tires and it gives roughly a 3:08 final at the ground.
Sum it all up and it works out to about 2100/2300rpm's @ 65mph.
Id be VERY interested in hearing more about this install, and pics!
