So you plan on changing rear gears every winter?

If yours is the standard 4wd case then yes, just take out the driveshaft to make sure you dont accidentally put it in 4wd. If yours is AWD, you cannot safely remove the driveshaft.

Why not regear the front? Its not terribly difficult. Maybe an hour to remove the front diff from the truck....cvs, solenoid, dshaft, 4 bolts, turn the wheels, and pull it out.

I also vote to re-gear the front, maybe remove the driveshaft if 4wd temporary til the re-gear...
