I think he saying the problem is when the truck flexes up, the diffs going to hit basically no matter what.

Unless you run headers through the hood

 

[redranger4.0]

Just limit uptravel and run as much downtravel as possible.

 

[TheRookie]

If you really need and can cover my expenses I can come down and make you a header that will work. I have made headers with less room

 

[Savage Wolf]

Not that much of this matters I redid the y pipe with what I had for the time being, at some point I'll probably redo the whole front half of the exhaust system w/ custom built headers and whatnot but thats alittle ways off still

: Dont any of you read the other posts lol

 

[TheRookie]

I did, nothing personal but what experience do you have making headers? they are a lot more than just bending tube

Im going to be making my own exhaust soon, but im leaving the headers alone.

 

[Nick26]

what about putting in a T5? Have you checked out any of the dimensions? 5 speeds are so much more fun anyway.

 

[sn0border88]

that probably wouldnt work with his atlas would it?

 

[Mud Bug 94]

probly cant drive stick...lol/jk you should look into it.

If i was going to go w/ a stick I would go for a ZF5 or NV 4500 swap, not a T5, but it would be kind of a waste of the TCS and factory new 4r70w I already have in the truck... not to mention I did the atlas ordered for the 4r70w so that would be even more research to figure out how to make it fit.
I'll probably just add a extra bumpstop and call it a day for the front drive shaft clearance issues, I really could care less if the truck can flex out to the max, if thats what I was shooting for I would have just gone full width front and rear and linked the sob out

AA can make an atlas fit anything, You send it to them and they change it around

Yup, I think they also said that its usually cheaper to sell the one you have and just buy a new one built to new specs you need then to have one redone

You said it was going to take research. I was simply pointing out that it would not. Now you are also saying it would not

well the current atlas may or maynot bolt right to a zf5 or nv4500, but thats still $$ that I would have to pull from no where for a extra swap that I have NO plans on doing....

So anyone else want to build this rig for me w/ their $$ or should I just put the gears in the front and drive it (yeah only thing left to drive it is front gearing everything else HAS been done)

 

[TheRookie]

Wasnt building your truck for you. How could I, not even in the same state. I was simply stating that research is not needed for what you thought it was.

that being said post some pics of the exhaust, curious on what you did

 

[Savage Wolf]

Forgot the pics of the exhaust, all i did was shorten the bend at where it comes off the header collector.
Next thing I need to figure out...
Fenders?

Or rubber things

 

[TheRookie]

Rubber. The fiberglass ones fit like crap and break, the rubber is the way to go

Neither apear to get coverage though. The fiberglass is also cut WAY too big for your tire size

 

[FROADER]

Rubber.

 

[Blee1099]

Wolf go with the rubber definately.

 

[410Fortune]

I have not had a single issue with my fiberglass in 5+ years, not sure why you guys have issues.

The rubber thingys be ugly IMO
What headers are those?
