never seen someone swap in a 22r into a 80, isnt the truck slow enough as it is :hillbilly:
Not a swap... an addition! makes it more fasterer! Front and rear engine 80!
 
Went to look at a piece of property which turned into a few hours of carrying rocks and winching.

Property owner cut a 3 to 4 foot deep trench alongside the road for the first 30 yards or so of it then left it open. Apparently he was going to run utilities then gave up some time back. A neighbor has been using it as a place to dump leaves this year so the top section of the trench was well hidden which made for a nice tank/80 trap. I should have checked but didn't and instead I made a bad assumption and drove straight onto my axles while trying to avoid a pretty big washout on the other side. Put in 4 lo, locked all three diffs and no movement. The trench is all the way to the lower edge of the frame in the first photo, even though it's hidden with leaves/sticks. You can see it more clearly in the 2nd photo where we'd been piling rocks in/etc. behind the truck.

With the help of a buddy and his jeep plus winch we filled the trench with rocks and were able to pull/ramp one wheel out at a time. A strong come-along pulling straight away from the trench helped keep it from sliding back in as we winched it out. Got home before dark and without any damage which made for a great afternoon piling rocks and playing with trucks :)

good luck. When you crack them, turn them back just so slightly as if you were turning them back in. My cousin who is a diesel mechanic shared this on stubborn nuts as tip, and to be patient and use a generous amount of PB blaster.
Liquid Wrench works better :)
