If you switch to a 205 or a doubler setup you will hav to leghten or shorten your driveshafts.ord has a pretty sweet setup

Gen. 2 of the ORD adapter to my knowledge makes a 203/205 doubler the same length as the whole 203 alone...so if you've got a 203 in there now and put together a 203/205 doubler, your t-case unit will be the same length and your driveshafts won't change length.

From the Offroad Design website:
Adding them up
The overall length of the Doubler™ is now 21.5" for all versions. This is measured from the front face of the 203 to the rear yoke centerline on the 205. This is the same length as the original 203, and only 6" longer than original GM 205 applications. It's 9" longer than a 205 for the Ford guys. The new compact length allows the Gen2 Doubler™ to fit in many more applications while still leaving adequate rear driveshaft length. Keep in mind these measurements are not absolute, they can vary as much as 1/2" either way depending on the case length variations and yoke length. This does not include the adapter between the transmission and NP203.

Man reading that page again has me itching to spend more money. I've had the 205 sitting in a box in the garage since I pulled my half tons and traded them for it. Seems like every time I go to their website I end up starting a new project, lol.

No disrespect, but friend... you bumped your head.

Its got a TH400. I like the 205, but then I've heard alot about the 208...but have no experience with it. I also just read, on this site, about the part time kit for the 203.

My goal is "bullet proof" off road, but still have the option to drive it on road.

Rear driveshaft length stays the same, front needs to be a few inches longer.
