Thanks for the diagram. I found a site that sells 4wd output shafts for $180 new, and the nut for $42. Is that out of line from what you've seen?

Yes that speed sensor ring/spacer is different 2wd to 4wd. Because in 2wd form that spacer acts as the speed sensor ring. But in 4wd it's just a spacer since the speed sensor is in the transfer case. Both different thicknesses. And it needs to be shimmed for the correct end play which is .018"-.023" IIRC. (Without getting my book back out.)
I paid 85$ for a used output shaft on eBay. And 37$ for the new nut on eBay
Looking good so far. Any idea what cost your at as of now? Got stuck in the F$CKN snow today so this thread is becoming very handy!!
I have just under 2200 in everything ive bought so far... If i wasnt wanting to add a lift to stay at the same height im at, i would be done buying parts. That includes some extras i could have gotten by without.. Like the pump rub/brace, new u joints, new bearings/seals, new 4wd tailhousing(could have gotten used cheaper), could have jiggy rigged some wiring up to make the 4wd function, shit like that. But while its all out i figure id do a little maintenance on it and add a few upgrades as preventative maintenance. All i have left to buy for me to be done with it is the 4-6 cognito, new CV's and im going to change the front u joints as well. Like i said i could have gotten away with the old cv's and u joints but its already apart so why not!
Yea used eBay parts isn't my thing. Rather pay $100 more for a new one or used from here/vender but that's just me 
4wd swap complete. Running the 4-6 fully decranked. flat angles. Removed my 2" block. Rides great. Need different shocks. Need ones with the shock shaft on bottom for more clearance around ntbd bracket. Clears fine as is, but i havent driven it much as far as big bumps drooping out. It hits when jacking it up though.
Yeah the rear is all stock. Front is only 1" taller then that. 33's look more at home. Leveled height basically with nice non cranked ride and flat angles.
You killed it man!! Looks great!! :thumb:
Did you have to add the mounting point to the frame for the aluminum mount on the pass. side of the front diff.? I see where you added the sleeve/bushing for the front mounting point for that piece but couldn't tell what you did for the rear part. In the pic you posted of the 4wd frame section, it looks like the mount point for the rear of that aluminum piece is in the crossmember?
