What cross member is that? Is it just one for you to cut up and modify?

Not sure if you were asking me or somebody else, but in my pic was a stock 4x4 crossmember. I don't cut them. I add to the back end of it instead, the same way I've seen others on the forum do it. I might have a pic somewhere, not sure.

Your 2010 is a different platform, and the info here most likely will be different than what you need. What transmission and transfer case does your truck have?

6L80E trans, but im not sure on the t-case. Just your standard 2hi,4hi,4lo and Auto.
I do know the lift company makes a replacement shaft, which is 31.75" long. So i imagine mine cant be over 29-30".

Yeah that was your pic. I should have quoted it. I've got to get to do doing my homework. Last time I went looking to do this people were cutting out the center section and moving it back.

At least I already have a segment swapped tune, had it made 4-5 years ago. I just never did the swap.

The AWD front driveshaft is actually a bit shorter then the standard Auto trac one. Based on what I am finding it looks like that 094 shaft will still work but based on measurements it is actually not quite long enough for a standard Auto Trac setup. Naturally there is enough length to the splines that it should still be fine but I am just looking to clarify who has actually done this on a AWD and what front shaft you used. I know AndyC3 has done it and I am waiting to hear back from him.
Anyone? Andy?

I just finished my 80E and 149 swap. I reused my front driveshaft. It's close though.
