    Yes im gonna get a self centering Valve cuz i do wanna drive it down the road and yes ill have some custom 100K PSI lines built, theres a pic of a giant tracho that snaged a 3/10 backho lineand it picked the whole thing up:eek: in the shop that builds em. it's gonna get trialered long distances but for intown stuff i don't wanna have to load it up and unload it 50 times in moab.

    gonna run tons so 5.38 is my gearing option..

    Checked the SC off my list already i figured power plant and trans first then Tcase and SFA/MOOOOORE lift.
    But gears are getting done anyways. Im a master tech in a auto shop and i fab to so ill be doing all the work myself FTW.
    As far as gears go i ran 5.29's in my pre taco with 37's the extra gearing was very nice on the street till i went with dual tcases then it didnt mean beans off road i coulda ran 4.10's no problem. Yes the 4.88 is stronger than 5.29 and actually theres a considerable amout of lose. So id say if it was me 4.88 SC and dual her out FTW.

    250 is a little high IMO, I wouldn't pay more than 100-150 for any Dana 44.

    Why not go with a lc based housing, hp elocker sounds nice.

    Excuse my lack of knowledge but idk what lc based housing means.?

    E-locker would be nice, i just figured since im gonna run a tank and compressor in the back may as well run an ARB.

    Well around here right now people are wanting 3-400 for waggy 44.

    I thought Duals are only good for rocks and kreeping, not for pedal to the floor non sense. i mean 4 low should be good enough IMO

    Please quit posting those atrocities in this thread. This is for SA BS for usable trucks. That shit is ruining a good thread. I feel sorry for those trucks.

    And for the guys with little dick syndrome trying to compensate for something!:p

    Atlas alows for the ability to go front wheel drive in any gear.. But yes mostly for crawling and snow wheeling. and 4low with as much power vrs the size of the rest of the drive train it's gonna break a tcase so im just gonna upgrade before i have to tow it home and do it anyways.
