And a side benefit for you is that the 2 wheel drive will lessen the load on the front axel. I don't ahve the numbers in front of me but know that my front axel weight is the only weight that is close to the advertised limit. That is due to not only the 8.1 liter engine but also the 4x4 and front off-road skid plate.

The 4x4 has saved my bacon a couple of times but if I didn't have it, I just would have done things differently. Such as refuse a soft campsite after a heavy rain.
