Well I said I was gonna have It sitting on its rear suspension by the end of this weekend and I did. Here's a few pics.

right now it's sitting around 3.5" more lift than I was expecting. I have to figure out how to adjust the coilovers so I can run them at mid-point of their travel...that's how I want to run them. Right now they have 11" of shaft showing, which explains my extra lift. I know I can dial back the upper adjuster, but all that will do is lower my rig, not change the amount of shaft showing. Couple other little things to adjust on the coilovers, they are close to hitting in a couple spots, I'll have to re do a couple mounts.

With some help from my brother, we took a couple of days this week and started to mock-up positioning of the powertrain and front housing and 4 link. In the below pics, the engine /tranny / case positioning looks like it will be good.
Front housing is sitting about 8 inches forward (compared to stock) - I'd like to be able to move it back about 3 inches or so, I hope I'll be able to. I may have to run a two piece front driveshaft, which I don't want to do. It's possible I may be able to beat my floor up a couple of inches above the transfer case, this would give me room to clock my Atlas up closer to flat and give me a bit more clearance for the d-shaft as it passes the tranny pan.
With the front housing in its current position (~ 8" forward), it's a 130 inch wheelbase. Long, but not crazy. It should be high enough to keep it from bellying. Projected belly height is 30" to bottom of mid-frame, sitting on 43" Swamper SX.

Thanks. Need to finish getting the front 4-link tacked into position, then once that's finalized, going to start on front tube work. Then it will really be starting to take shape. I'll be able to mount fenders and grill, and get front coilovers situated. That will be another milestone because then it will be sitting on it's completed suspension.
