yeah but you can slip a doubble better than a single I would not try 4th low with a single disk I would stick with 3rd low its an easy gear to turn only problem is its gonna be a slow gear round 20 mph. If I were you I would get that dual disk asap

the stock nv 4500 can hold lots of power, I still have the stock nv4500 in my truck the only upgrade I did was change the input shaft and fixed the 5th gear nut ( they tend to walk off).
