Ok i've posted a couple threads here and done a fair amount of research and was wondering.... 1500 dana 44 etc. was thinking if i have to rip the front axle halfway apart to replace cv and seals... if i re geared it to 4.10 and didnt engage 4wd unitl i re geared rear axle would it make any difference? it seems like a good time to get in there but was wondering about 2nd opinions..

 

yes, you would be find as long as you dont use 4x4, leave the driveshaft out for extra insurance

 

This. I especially like the part about leaving the front driveshaft out.
