You going to keep the 205 or convert the newer t-case to the 400?
Although the 205 is beefy, I would personally prefer the gear reduction of the newer case, especially since the first gear in the 400 is not as low as a 700R4/4l60E.
Also spring mounts for your chassis and cross members, aftermarket or wrecking yard sourced?
I'd be tempted to run B52's up front with factory shackle mounts and factory 4wd front mounts and a flip kit in the rear. Maybe even sneak some 1 ton 64" late model springs out back.
Paint job looks great buy the way!
