You will probably find that the steering wheel will sort itself with the new kingpin bearings.

The button transfer box is 1:1 manual and 1:3 automatic. With no other modification an automatic transfer box will correct the gearing on a manual to run 35 inch tyres or will make the absolute top speed of standard tyres about 70 mph at 6000 odd rpm. With you having 15pc taller than standard tyres it will make it fairly slow and and screaming at speed but it would accelerate quite quickly. To keep it something like standard you are going to have to look at the earlier none vvt none push button main gearbox and the automatic push button transfer which is a same ratio as the lever type manual transfer box. The issue is that swapping main gearboxes is not quite as simple as one out, one in as the shift mechanism has to be adapted if I recall correctly.

Thank you for your help it’s greatly appreciated

I will buy the auto transfer box and see how it goes from there

Again I appreciate the help and support from the site I don’t know enough about these vehicles to confidently spend money on items without user’s knowledge which I’m sure was hard earned so again thank you to everyone who took the effort to reply

Read my "Death Wobble" thread of the subject in the Wiki.

Get the tracking done to straighten the steering wheel and possibly help resolve the wobble.

As said, get both diffs.
