Damn, those are really tall.

If you're not driving it on-road, then a doubler sounds like it will get you by for now.

However, I don't think it will be too much cheaper to do it right.

If you double your cases with gears that tall chances are you are going to break something. Because those gears are so tall you are going to be straining the drivetrain to keep the tires moving, and with the torque of a dual case that's allot of strain. What size tires? If you say 35" and have a R&P that tall, you are asking for trouble. Don't dump a bunch of money into the doubler then break the case. I would put my money into a set of gears and then think about a doubler.

x2 you can not compensate for a wrong final drive ratio with drive line mods. you must have the correct gear ratio first in order for anything else to work properly the way it was intended to. some will argue but final drive is final drive its what allows everything else to work. with proper gears, a doubler isnt necessary, still nice to have but not necessary. using a doubler w/o gears will move your truck fine but at the expense of drive shafts, u jionts, pinion bearings and gears, axles, etc. kinda like adding 500 hp to a jeep, itll break it.

Assuming that rig has it's stock 4 cyl, it'll barely move with those tall of gears. You'll need bigger tires in order to clear that field plow of a 14B anyway. Gears. Definately.
