2wd low range

i was wondering if anybody has put 2wd low range in their trucks? I wanted to know if it would actually worth doing the upgrade. What are your thoughts about it. Dont want to spend the money on something that wont help me at all.

Ive never heard of this before? Could you elaborate? I've heard of just unlocking manual hubs and technically putting in "4 low" and only the back two tires pull. But never heard of a upgrade?

I have just locked my transfer case in 4 low and not locked the hubs whichs is technically 2 low,never heard of a 2 low upgrade

I think JC Whitney sells this kit. It is a disconnect for the front axles somehow. Don't know how it does it though. Basically you put it in 4 lo and pull the disconnect.

I really don't see a point in it if you have 4x4:confused:

Hey guys been lurking here for awhile now. But figured some guys are stumped, so help them out.

There is actually a kit out for Jeep transfer-cases. 2LOW kit for jeep transfer-cases (http://www.teraflex.biz/products/jk-wrangler-241-or-2low-kit.html)

You have to take the whole transfer-case apart to install it.

The only reason why one was even manufactured for them, was simply because the do not have front disconnect hubs. If they did then it would kinda be pointless.

But if you really think about it, it is a great idea. Because if you do not want 4HI or 4LOW, yet need a 2LOW for maneuverability it is awesome. And I assume you guys know that when in 4WD the front axle binds when making anything more than a medium turn.

So for example your crawling rocks in the 6500lb+ beast and need just a little bit extra turn in the steering. One would simply attempt to take the bind out of the drive train best they could and then proceed to put the transfer-case in 2LOW and complete the maneuver.

I hope I have explained it well enough. If there is anything else I can help with let me know.

It's easily with an old school unit like a NP203, 205, 208, or even a Dana 200, or 300. But to modify a NP273 like ours, is pointless due to our ability to unlock our front hubs, as was mentioned multiple times already...

I understand we can lock and unlock our hubs. Depending on year and options chosen.

The reasons why it was created was for maneuverability and laziness.

I am not trying to attack you personally.

But if one were to think about what it can do. It is actually a really nice setup. Does anyone really want to get out of their rig to unlock their hubs so they can get more steering angle? I certainly don't.

I believe the NP203 and possibly the 205 and 208 are full time 4WD. Were as the Dana 200 and 300 are twin sticks, so it really would not matter any way.

Personally I see it as a extra tool in the toolbox/bag. But each to his/her own.

I use 2 low all the time when backing trailers. Keeps the trans temp down. I have manual hubs so it is pretty easy. Before I installed the manuals I was looking into a way of shifting the t-case and not engaging the hubs. There is a kit available but you should be able to build your own.

I was saying those old model transfer cases are outdated by the hubs superdutys have now.
I know the 205 and 208 are f/t 4x4. I am a driveline technician, and have both of said t-cases divorce mounted in a '75 CJ-5.

2WD LOW is an awesome modification.

I was unaware of your occupation.

That is true they are outdated now.

Indeed they are outdated, but not outdone.

2 low is nice if you have manual hubs,I know I wouldnt invest in it ,I have manual hubs and transfer case and use 2 low alot when backing trailers up,but other than that its pretty much pointless and a waste to put any money into it IMO
