If you run a front locker, it's real tough to turn with out a set.

Twin stick is one of the best ways to go period. The ability too have low gearing while in 2wd is good, like if you do not want to get out and lock the front hubs in just for a boost of power. Ever been on a spot on the street you wanted deeper gears like pulling something out of the lake?
Besides that, as said if you have a Detroit or other auto locker you can not turn sharp till it is inactivated.
I know you will try to figure out why they all don't come like that.
Some cases need to have a pin pulled or something like that so you can use 2 low.

could not tell you Dale, but then there are probably different shifters put on the Dana 20 over its years of production, I know on the D18 you have to know the year you have to get shifter parts, or buy an entire shifter assembly including some inner parts. Now the D18 and Dana 20 are closely relatedand such could be the case.
oh I see, it says with 3 speed, maybe how it mounts onto that tranny makes it hit something.

Whelp, JB makes nice sticks, but...they tend to run a bit short for my tasts. Also, being stainless steel, their had as hell, and extremely tough to bend. The thing is, no bought 2-stick will fit right out of the box, and will need a little "twieking" to make them go just where you want them to be. Bending stainless rod is not an easy task, and before It's over, you'll hate your life just a little.

Baja is probably on to something there.
I have SS sticks and didn't find them any harder to bend, the're all a PITA. to make them fit just right.

You're kidding me...
Just stuck'm in the vise and slid a piece of pipe over'm.
You just need a long enough pipe.

If you can't weld and want to extend the stick length, buy a couple solid shaft couples from McMaster Carr, cut the shaft, add the length you want and dimple the set screws into the shaft material. Cheap, easy way to extend the shaft length without welding.
I have twin sticks I made myself on my 77 CJ5 (Dana 20 ) and my 84 CJ7 (Dana 300 ), I love them.
