Is anyone running a C6 Atlas combo in an EB? If so, are you having front driveline problems using a stock EB 44? How much body lift and suspension lift?

btt for one more day. Anyone?

I don't know about fitting a C6, but the general consensus seems to be that you can build a C4 strong enough for just about any need you're likely to have.
What kind of front driveline problems were you thinking you might have? I beleive that the C6 is longer than the C4 which would put the Atlas farther from the from diff, so there shouldn't be a problem there. The back end in another question. How much longer is the C6 than the C4?

Here's the deal. I had the C6 Atlas in a hybrid, everything made to fit, including extended WB. I'm building a more conventional EB and want to use what I have. I do have an EB C4/D20 that I can install but it won't do what the C6 Atlas will without spending a ton of money. In thy hybrid I had 'just enough' front driveline clearance. I won't have the suspension or body lift I had so clearance might be an issue. Length of the rear line is not a problem.
The other opton is to sell the C6 Atlas and build up the C4 and get a set of O'brien gears. Anyone got $2500 they want to part with? :D

You had just enough clearance to what?
The low pinion on the eb d44 should make up for the lack of lift and I doubt the 44 pumpkin is more centered than that pos 60 you were running.
Besides it's just a grocery getter so just clock that Atlas down a notch or two. :flipoff2:

Wait a sec, two questions. POS 60? Grocery getter? A grocery getter hu, I'll let you figure that out on the 7th of July. And you don't like the 60's? :confused:

OPPs forgot the extra flipoff, just trying to rattle your cage. Don't like em? Are you kidding, what's it been, a month? I still got wood and they aren't even installed yet. :D

Then I'm happy. Nothing like a satisfied customer. You ready for the 38.5's yet? :flipoff2: :flipoff2: One grand and their yours, with the beadlocks.

Atlas...4.3 or 3.8? 38.5s...Tread/type of beadlock?

I'm semi-kidding about the trans and Atlas. I want to try and squeeze them in first. But it's a 4.3.

the 38.5X14X16.5 SX's only have about 100 miles on them and are mounted on Agressive beadlocks with an inner safety bead added. 4 ea.

I was just thinking...

I have a D20 with Obriens and was thinking trade for the Atlas, but I too am not really serious about it. I like the case/gears but would like a stronger out put shaft and don't really want to pay the $400.00 for WH/Adv Adpt. Do you like the new shaft?

Getting off topic...TTT

If I was going with the 20 Obrien gears I would also upgrade the output shaft to the WH one.

You can't get off topic, this is the Ford section :D
