Yeah.. an extra 4" of axel lift + 6" suspension + 3" body lift .. will put me too high, I would like to keep te body lift, Because that will allow me to get a larger fuel tank, route the larger exhaust, and it will make it easyer to clean the mud from inbetween the body and frame. I donno... Ill have to see what it looks like. If I can get away with out the body lift though.. I think Ill go with that. Ill just push the axles out an inch on each side for a little more stability.
If the 205 case is a passenger drop, that might be something to look into, becase the Atlas is about 2800, and I could probably get a 205 for under 1000. alough with the Atlas 4-speed, ill have the gearing for any type of wheeling, 1.1 for the dirt, 2.7 for sand, 3.8 for mud and 10.1 for the rocks.
As far as the axles go, the portals should hold up much better with the added weight and torque of the cummins.. This way I can boost the power from 215hp and 440ft-lbs to somewhere inbetween 300-500hp and 800-1000 ft-lbs, and not have to worry about terring the toy axel to peices.
I will be getting a custom radiator that will have electric fans, probably duel fans, I dont know if I will have them pullers or pushers, but it will give me about 6" more space up front with the engine mounted fan not being there. That will give me the space upfront for the intercooler. Ill probably go custom as to get better flow than a stock unit.
