Marlin Crawler Box (2.28 and 2.28)
So I have been looking into getting 4.7 gears to put in my t-case, but while looking at Marlin's website, I saw that they had crawler boxes ready to put in between the tranny and the t-case for dual cases. I have two questions:
1. Does having dual 2.28 cases give you an overall t-case gear ratio of ~5.2:1 in double low? or what is it??
2. How much is it to get the drive shaft modified/shortened?
Thanks!

1. Yes it does.
2. Shafts. Both need to be done. Mine were about 250 out the door, but I had them retubed, since the stock ones are paper thin. That was from a local shop. Call around and see what people can do for you.

When I did mine the shafts changed by about 4.5 inches.
I love having the dual cases. You endup with three forward speeds
1:1, 1:2.28, and 1:5.2 plus you get a 1:2.28 in 2wd
If you need more gear, you can always change the rear case to 4.7
gears in the future, and have 4 forward gears.

4 forward gears is the bomb.
I run 2.28 for snow, and easy fire roads. I run 4.7 on the difficult trails, in between the obstacles. and I run 10.7 on the obstacles. Having choices is good.

You can run the stock crossmember, but that's a lot of torque on the one tranny mount. A dual-case crossmember (like Budbuilt) with 2 tranny mounts or the FROR crossmember are highly recommended.
If you go with a clocked adapter, you have to use the FROR crossmember to realize the ground clearance savings.

Would I have to do anything to my stock t-case? Would I just put the crawl box in between the t-case and tranny and go from there?

Thanks! Good to know, I was wanting to get a Budbuilt anyways for added ground clearance because the stock crossmember is like a plow lol
