if you run into any issues with 4x4 it might be the actuator on the front axle but that's easily fixed by removing the factory actuator and replacing it with either a cable lock type setup or if you somehow managed to put together an electric actuator setup that activated when you shift the tcase that would be pretty cool too.
I have a manual transfer case so no shift motor to worry about

If that doesn't work then the pull cable system willI have a manual transfer case so no shift motor to worry about

baumann makes a trans controller that's comparable with E4OD 4R100 and 4R70, and then a few other ford transmissions and other brand transmissions. they seem to be pretty good quality controllers with good features and adjustability.

They also make a paddle shift kit that's compatible with that controller. MSD also makes a 4r70 controller I think
