That should do it, but with the 33's on there, you're probably gonna bust up drivetrain components pretty quickly. Even on stock size tires, I don't think your AWD xfer case will hold up long...You'll need to upgrade the drivetrain at the same time.
 






I couldn't powerbrake till i did the transfercase swap. Now that the BW4406 is in I can roast 35s
 






umm if its AWD good luck on that one, and all your internals are cryo treated? are they stock internals?, because a stock block will crack before the crank and forged rods and pistons are pretty cheap these days, what heads are you using right now?

converting to 2WD should make it "drift" with overinflated tires, sure it might(will) roll over also :D
 






i could slde sideways when i was stock in the rain. Slight turn then mahs the pedal, turn the wheel hard then the other way...there ya go. Slidin sideways.
 






I was sliding my Mercury Sable stepping on the e-brake in snow :eek:
 






go with the xfer case awd to 4x4 conversion.....with the awd it wont really do it for you.....even with my v6 in the rain with my old tires i could put it sideways with 1/4 pedal......dry i could do it with the poedal on the floor.
 






as you get to the corner, drive 35, manual shift to first, when you feel it catch, mash the gas. I used to do that till i grew up a lil bit, but i three wheeled all day. Quite fun! happy three wheeling
 






yeah it sounds fun and i hope someday ill be able to slide it sideway at a stop in 4wd A LOTO MONEY!!!!

You live in South Dakota... Give it a few more weeks. An inch or two of snow should do the trick. :)

A rear locker or good limited slip differential is required. An open differential will only spin one tire, to slide sideways you need to spin both.
