No, they made the 14 bolt semi floater with 3.42 gears. It may be hard to find, but if you can get your hands on one, you are set. And yes, you can drive around in 2wd only with your gears different. Once you engage the 4wd with two different gear ratio's, you will shred your shit up.

So all 88-99 semi floater with 6 lug rears will work? I should be able to find one then. What about breaks, will I have to swap them out?

88-98...99 was the NBS and that won't fit. Brakes should fit. It's a direct swap except for the u joint which you will need a new one like bowtiefreak stated above. Do you have pics of your truck up? I don't know if I have seen a 2 door police edition.

Its really a ex border patrol car, nothing special just like a fleet vehicle with heavy duty steel wheels and a plain jane interior.

Are the 2500 leaf springs a direct bolt in? It would be nice to have some beefy springs in the back.

I believe the springs do bolt in but you will need larger u bolts for them. Nice truck by the way. Where are you at? I found one in Michigan with 3.42 gears for $80...but i'm not sure what year it is. haha

make sure if you get a 14 bt sf it is out of a 4x4 not a 2wd

Ah yes...forgot about that part. It NEEDS to be an axle out of a 4wd. 2wd axles are not as wide and won't fit. haha good catch.
