Okay and even after you preload can you dump the clutch or still have to feather it?

Never dump the clutch, that's what breaks driveline parts. Slip the clutch. I was makinging 450hp and 415tq for over a year on the stock tranny, t-case, and axles. My 3rd gear went before anything but that's my fault and my driving. Now I'm making over 500hp on the stock t-case and axles. It all comes down to driving habits. You dump the clutch all the time then prepare to replace driveline parts.
