Just kicking around a project for this fall....
So, my Scrambler drivetrain consists of a 350 chevy small block, a Muncie M20 4-speed transmission (2.5:1 first gear), a stock (2.5:1) Dana 300 transfer case and stock 4:10 axles.
Initially, I had it in mind to swap the transmission for an SM465 (6.5:1 first gear), and keep the D300 as-is... however, the Muncie is kind of retro-cool, and REALLY fun to drive!
I'd like to keep the Muncie 4-speed, so for off-road gears, I'm thinking about installing a 4:1 kit in my D300.
10 years ago, I built a Terra-Low 4:1 D300 for my CJ7, with an AX15 5-speed (3.8:1 first gear), and 4:10 axles, and was very happy with the results!
For my type of driving though, hunting, fishing, camping... unlikely that I'll ever tackle the Rubicon... I'm not sure a 4:1 transfer case is really necessary, even with my Muncie transmission...!
I'll probably do it anyway though... because I like to tinker....
If anyone has a 4:1 D300 lying around, I'd probably be interested.
