the kit came with a drop kit for the transfer case that we need to put on. the kit didnt come with longer control arms which i need to get some because the back tires are touching the fender in the front.
Does anyone have sugestions on good adjustable control arms?
it is all time four wheel drive but it has the 5.9 liter in it so it doesnt take much power away haha but as far as just pwering the back or front im not sure i havent read or tested that yet.

QtII, with open axles, will allow one tire to spin, acts like an open diff but splitting the power between front and rear. The reason I know this, I have a 94 with the qt and it works great until it starts pushing snow, then it's just like someone threw and anchor out the back.
There are quite a few articals on changing the case out for a 231 or the 242 (part/full-time case). Depending on how radical you want to go, might take a look.
