i just ordered one, there's a two month wait ......the best deal i found was at 4x4groupbuy.com, free shipping too!

3.0 at the most. for hill shooting, i liked my 205 with axle/tire combo

me and my buddy both have 205s with rockwells and they work great with the 6:72s in our jeeps

what size tires you running?

I ran a doubler with my rockwells which is 4 to1 with 46 claws it was good for crawling but you run out of gear fast. I spent a lot of time in 2nd and 3rd gear. I would not go over a 3.8 atlas. I think thats what was in fat girl when timmie had it. Depends on horsepower and your driving style.

Paul, if you have a 205 already I would say stay with it, and try to put a 203 or doubler of some kind in front of it. with 6;72s and 49s you would leave the front in high 90% of the time, this would give you close to the same wheel speed as my rig, but with more power and still be able to pull the doubler in for tec stuff.

dont think i have the room for a doubler. every seat i have tried is to tall and they are(the seats) sitting on the 205. may have to raise the roof line and go with the doubler dont want to wait 2 months on atlas.

if you look on Atlanta craigslist, there is a guy who is selling a new Lomax (case and gears) 205 3:1 for $1500......he still had it as of a couple weeks ago. it has a 27 spline input for a th350.

i got 44 boggers on my jeep with the 205 and an np435 tranny and have all the crawlin gear i could ever want...my buggy has 49 irocks with a turbo 350 and a 205 and 1st gear crawls just fine

this, check with Ty he may have what you need laying around. I would not do anything lower than 3.0 with the rocks. the option for 4.0 with a doubler would be my choice. When you were in my rig the other day, you were in 2.72 with 5.29s and 39.5s. I would think a 205 and 49s with rocks would be pretty close. if I am trying to hill shoot then I have to let my trannie shift to second for the wheel speed. if I stay in first its a no go.

very seldom do i pull the doubler in, but it has made difference in makeing a spot and being denied.

is your 205 clocked flat????

 

[Rockwells607]

the 205 in this jeep is clocked up with a ford output and northwest fab cable shifters....works great

 

[monster]

is your 205 clocked flat????

yes mine is clocked flat
