I'm interested in seeing solutions for those out there who are running an NP205. I just put my 350/sm465/np205, and although it's temporarily located, i would like to see pics of what everyone else is running, so i can begin thinking about my solution. I'm running a 2in body lift also, so I can tuck it up as far as possible. Initial pics don't look too bad. I'm waiting for my axles to get completed before final placement.

Dont have any pics but with my 350/Sm465/205 combo in my TJ I had to run the output shaft for the rear just about touching the tub (1 inch body lift) just to get the front output from dragging in the dirt. I ended up with the bottom of my new crossmember sitting exactly where the factory skid did. I think I may look into a way to index the 205 to gain some clearance and get my rear driveshaft at a better angle.

Did you have to run a CV driveshaft front or rear? Do you know what Spicer U-Joints you have? I'm trying to figure it out and have come up empty handed so far...
