I went with a body lift because the engine was 3" taller and the air intake is about 5" taller, so I thought I would need the extra lift.. It doesent look like it... but it does help alittle with bell housing. Isint the 205 case a drivers side drop though? I need a passenge side drop.

I think the portal's will give you too much lift (about 6-7") on top of your 6" lift already & if you removed your 6" lift you might have axle interference with the oil pan. You should be able to get your measurements now to see if that would work.
The 205 is passenger drop in Dodge Cummins 1st gen & you could get a set of axles off of a dodge & have them cut down for way less than a set of portals and have a higher load carring capacity. I have not investigated this much, but its what I've picked up off of the TDR.
It all depends on how you plan on wheeling it wether the portals would be worth it.
Are you planning on a custom innercooler or will you be able to get the stock one to fit?
