What is your wheel base? I was going to do the same thing, but because of the rear driveshaft angle I went with an atlas 2 speed case. My wheel base is about 108", I would like it to be longer, but with 108", a TH350, a klune or doubler it gave me a realy crappy rear driveshaft angle.

What gears are you going to run in the axles? I was under the impression that a doubler with an auto tranny was overkill.

5.13s

I don't think it has anything to do with whether its a doubler or not..Just what overall low you end up with..

I'm running a tf999 now with 4.1 on my 231.. I wish I could go lower sometimes, but overall it works well. I thought about keeping the 231 since it has 4.1 in it but its a $700 adapter to go behind the th350 and its a weaker case compared to what I'm looking at going to being chain driven.

I'm curious if the change to 5.3 will give me what I'm looking for in the low end? I have a buddy running a stock dana 300 with the 5.3/350 and he says it works well for him but wishes he could go lower sometimes. Stock 300 has 2:?-1

I definitely want the option for twinsticks with whatever I end up with and 4spds would be nice to choose from and not spend $3500....Can't bring myself to spend $2500 on a 2spd atlas when I can get 4spds with the 205/underdrive for the same price.

Karl, how high is your rear yoke from the ground?

My YJ sits pretty low with a flat skid so that may be the difference in angle???

Wheel base is 109"

Karl, are you talking about a 203/205 doubler or were you looking at the underdrive on the front of the 205?

A 203/205 doubler is 21.5".. the blackbox or the magnum underdrive box is 5.5" + the 205 length of 12.5". So this setup should be about 3.5" shorter than the 203/205 doubler.

My current 231 is about 19", so I should be ok with the transfercase.

My concern is with the 5.3/th350.. I think the th350 is going to be a few inches longer. Just don't know how much I can make up when setting the engine in place.
