Transfer case question

Hi everybody,
While hauling cows to grass the other day i got to thinking, Is there a way to twin stick the transfer case in a truck like my 04.5 ctd? I am really looking for 2Lo gear selection. I think it would be nice to have the option of 2Lo when backing up to a trailer or when trying to get into tight places when turning sharp in 4Lo would cause unwanted front axle bind/hop. Any ideas? Just was thinking outloud and wondered if there might be something like this out there. Thanks

free spin front hub kit like the dynatrack gives you 2lo capabilities, use mine all the time for backing up the boat.

I think that Genos Garage offers a kit from BD that plugs into the electrics on a T case if yours is electric that allows you to have 2low. I think that it cost about 115.00 so it would probably be cheaper than free spins if you have the electric case.

I use 4-lo for backing my trailer with no issues. With the front being an open diff, there is no problem with one front tire over driving the other.

For that matter, the front Danas are open as well.

The only thing I don't like about lock-to-lock manuevering in 4WD is the binding.

Thats what i am saying, the binding when going lock to lock in 4Lo. I have the manual shift transfer case. if the electric case can be manipulated to have 2Lo, i would think the manual shift one could too? just wondering
