[QUOTE="TreeClimber, post: 989876, member: 16101"] Rich, Don't get the Atlas. You've shown to be a wheeler, but you're definately not gung-ho enough to need an Atlas. Get a 4-1 kit for the 231 case you've already got, and a slip yoke eliminator. Have someone competent install it for you. Cost less than a third of an Atlas, and will give you good low range. For the axles, 4.10/4.11 ratio is fine for you. These rigs are also daily drivers - not dedicated wheelers - and with 33s or 35s you'll be fine for pulling highway speeds with the 6 cylinder motor. Find someone with the factory 4 cyl and buy the complete axles from their upgrade, and swap in the entire front and rear. Should be less than $500 (axles related) for everything. Then gut out your old axle shafts, and carry them for spares. Time and Money permitting, get an 8.8 for the rear, or, have someone build you a custom axle. Tony [/QUOTE]
