    Guy hasn’t been on here in a year and a half.

    A very low profile rear sump oil pan is required to clear the front differential, as well as the engine/bellhousing sitting a bit higher which may cause hood interference without a body lift. Various other things like driveshaft and exhaust clearancing for the transfer case, etc.
