With auto. Most ppl buy the aa adapter and use 1350 transfer case. But if ur goin to do serious mudding or crawling. U may want to consider using more like np 205 or 208.bw1354,1356,4406.best bet is find a f150 4x4 with auto trans. Take everything. Trans transfer case and linkage for transfer case. U can type in search on google ford f150 transfer cases and itl have sights to show pics and gear ratios for each case. Which one u want is up to u. And how much mny u got is the other thing. I plan on runnin manual trans. In middle of my build now. Guys if im wrng with any info pls chime in and correct me.

Add 3 in body lift and the most modification ive had to do is bend the seam flat in the trans tunnel right at firewall and notch heater box. I had to nock in my firewall in one spot for motor to sit back farther. And i cut out the exhaust shield for now. Im running 33s with 4 in bds suspension lift with my 3 in body. Ul have to extend steering shaft and gas fill line. And emergency brake. I pulled steering line off 90 model explorer. It u joint on top and rag joint on bottom. With slip style yoke built in.
