quick question, I know that some pull the rear driveshaft when flat towing, from what I have read I have decided that I will for sure do this when flat towing.

Is it ok to just pull the bolts on the diff side and ratchet strap the driveshaft up and out of the way? Also, is it reccomended to pull the front shaft? I would think the front shaft would be optional as the real danger is that the tranny drops into gear and spins the rear driveshaft, correct? not much danger of the front shaft dropping into gear?

thanks,

Noah
