4wd t-case
narrowed silverado 8.5 rear with posi
stock front axle
BRAKES/SUSPENSION/WHEELS/TIRES
C6 Z06 6 piston front
C6 Z06 4 piston rear
QA1 coilovers front and rear

That is almost a 1" difference in diameter between the front and rear tires. Would this not cause a problem, or is the transfer case able to accommodate the slight speed difference between the front and rear drive shafts?
I haven't paid much attention to the 4x4 part of our hobby, so I'm more curious than critical.

SO somebody spent $500.00 and then had to work on it? How much modifying was done to it? Or was it done by the previous owner and you don't know? Your going turbo with it? I was going to see if you went natural induction if/ when you do manifolds to make another set and sell them to me.
