It is what it is. I was trying to get mine as high as possible for the flat belly.
What flange are you running on the Atlas? What driveshafts? I am getting tired of waiting for mine.

I am running 1410 flanges from Jess high angle Driveline, still aways out for drivelines but planning on ordering them from him. He is great to work with, had an issue with my atlas and he took care of it right away

Yeah much taller deck height. I also may have massaged my floor boards a but with a BFH to get a touch extra.

So when I bough this thing a bunch of stuff was already disconnected under the hood and I was wondering if anyone knew what these plugs are for:
Passenger Side: Three green plugs and a blue one.
Driver Side: Three green plugs and a blue one. The blue one has some heavy gauge wire going to it. Red/Yellow and white.

Various emissions components and then carb fuel cutoff switch on the driver's side. Passenger side will be AC clutch, dizzy, oil pressure sender, etc.
I cut most of mine out.

Coolant temp sensor? Originally it ran along the firewall and connected to the coolant sensor in the top of the 2F head on the driver's side. Single spade connector, can't remember the color.

Well, my Atlas flange finally came in. I guess there was some miss communication as he thought I needed only one, but he said he would be getting the second one out to me soon. Besides the length it took to get, it fits perfect.
Nut is not tightened all the way down.
Also had a chance to finish up the radiator mount as well as the fan shroud for the Volvo radiator. Have plenty of space between the fan and water pump pulley.
If anyone is curious this is the radiator I am running

On another note, I started looking at how I am going to route the exhaust and it is going to be a complete pain in the A.. Most people seem to run the exhaust down each frame rail and tie them back together past the t-case. With the atlas I have zero room so that is a no go, I might have to run the passenger side exhaust forward and around the front of the oil pan then back down the driver side. Needless to say it is going to be interesting.
Flip the headers upside down, holes in hood, some short pipes and some flaps on top-exhaust done and with mad style points.

Was just playing underneath it and I looks like I can sneak it down the passenger side, I have 3.25" in between the Atlas and the frame. Running 2.5" exaust so it will be tight. I will have to relocate the brake line on that side to the top/outside of the frame as well as the rear heater hoses but that should be no problem.

Definitely going to have to do something about these front springs. They flex like a 6x6 even with the sway bar removed.

I apologize, progress has been pretty slow due to s***ty weather and I will be out of town this weekend for my Nephew's graduation from Navy Boot Camp in Chicago.
I did have a chance to swap to an H3 oil pan and ordered all of my exhaust parts, so when I am back in town the exhaust will be getting done.

Have also decided that since finding stock rear FJ60 springs is like finding a mythical unicorn I am going to use 54" Tahoe rear springs in the front. Just need to make the trip to the picknpull one day next week.

Appreciate the offer but I am going to go with the Tahoe springs. They are more plentiful in case they break like the 60/62 springs tend to.

Can you post a good side profile shot with the current ride height with the 63" springs and frenched shackle? And you have 35" or 37" tires? Thanks.
