I would be a little concerned about tcase and axle heat. With stock gears the offset tcase is generating quite a bit of heat. I also found with stock gears that my axle got quite hot. This was cruising in hilly country with no load at about 45 max (4bt no overdrive would go 45 up a wall but no faster). I dont think I ever measured a temp but the axle housing was too hot to keep my hand on after just 20 mph. Maybe a little lighter oil (I used 140) and a good synthetic wont be a problem.
